The Easter long weekend and school holidays are fast approaching and many of us will enjoy some extra time with friends and family. 

Autumn is a beautiful time to visit the Central Coast, and we can expect an increase in visitor numbers – which is great for our local tourism industry – as people come to enjoy our stunning coast and natural environment. 

We have a great school holiday program held across our libraries, an Earth Day community planting event, Movie Nights, and other fun activities happening in our communities. Details can be found in the What’s On section of Council’s website.

A fantastic event you won’t want to miss is Gosford Regional Gallery’s 25 Moments exhibition, celebrating the gallery’s 25^th anniversary. The exhibition, open from 12 April, includes works from recognised artists and exceptional local artists, and is a true celebration of 25 years of art. 

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish the everyone a safe and happy Easter break. Please, take care on our roads, and stay safe at our beaches. 

Mayor Lawrie McKinna
