Central Coast Council is joining councils across NSW to celebrate Local Government Week 2025 from 4 to 10 August.

The week is a chance to recognise the essential services that support daily life and help build strong, connected communities.

Council Mayor, Lawrie McKinna said Local Government Week is an opportunity to highlight the many ways local government contributes to everyday community life. 

“Councils provide people-focused services that help regions to grow and thrive,” Mayor McKinna said.

“For Central Coast Council, this includes maintaining parks and pools, managing libraries and community programs, supporting events and venues, caring for bushland and waterways, and delivering infrastructure and planning services and more.

“Council’s role is to listen, plan and deliver. We’re fortunate to work alongside dedicated staff and community partners who help bring our community’s vision to life.”

Throughout the week, Council will showcase its range of services on social media, using the themes of its Community Strategic Plan: Our People, Our Environment, Our Place, Our Economy and Our Leadership. These themes reflect the values and priorities of the Central Coast community.

The 2025 Local Government Week campaign will also highlight the wide variety of career paths available at Council, from customer service and community development to engineering, planning, environmental science and more.

Central Coast Council Acting Director Corporate Services, Darrylen Law said the campaign supports Council’s broader commitment to continuous improvement as an organisation through its Rewrite the Future Employee Value Proposition campaign.

“Our Rewrite the Future campaign guides how we build an innovative, inclusive and community-focused Council that strives to deliver valuable services to our diverse community,” Ms Law said. 

“By highlighting the breadth of services Council delivers, we’re also showcasing the diversity of career opportunities available across our teams.

“We’re proud to be one of the largest local employers, with a dedicated workforce that reflects our community and a culture that values purpose, opportunity and balance. Approximately 90% of our workforce live on the Coast, and that connection strengthens our commitment to serving the region.”
