Central Coast Council is tracking well with its annual Community Engagement Program with nearly 90 percent of projects having been actioned as forecasted.

This high action rate on forecasted engagement activities shows that Council delivers on what it said it would for the community.

Since July this year Council has been consulting with the community on a number of significant projects and received hundreds of comments and submissions through our online engagement platform and via face-to-face workshops and information sessions. 

There’s also been over 21,000 new visitors to our engagement platform Your Voice Our Coast.  

The website is a rich source of information with detailed pages about projects under consultation including frequently asked questions, interactive maps, surveys, polls, event details and contacts for Council staff.

At last night’s Council Meeting, five new items were endorsed to be placed on Public Exhibition prior to the end of this year. All projects have an extended feedback period to allow the community enough time to have their say over the summer holidays.

The items are:

• Central Coast Draft Night-Time Economy Discussion Paper
• Draft Central Coast Local Approvals Policy
• Draft Central Coast Outdoor Trading Specification
• Draft Central Coast Council Regulatory Policy
• Draft Central Coast Thematic History
