For the past three years Central Coast Council have been working with the University of Newcastle (UoN) to conduct research on the remnant population of threatened Green and Golden Bell Frogs (Littoria aurea) at Bareena Wetland, North Avoca.

The Bays Bushcare was formed in 2018 after a group of locals who are passionate about the environment reached out to Council wanting to play a part in maintaining the natural beauty and biodiversity in their pocket of the Central Coast at Phegans Bay.

It’s no mystery that National Volunteer Week (let’s just call it NVW) is Australia’s largest celebration of volunteering.

Solar and battery systems have been installed at 20 Rural Fire Stations across the Central Coast to ensure services can continue to operate independently should a grid power fail occur during natural disasters.This initiative will be of particular importance to the many community members who live in isolated and vulnerable areas across our large Local Government Area, who have previously faced limited access to basic needs such as power and vital emergency services during natural disasters.The installation of solar and battery systems at local Rural Fire Stations will provide the community with the assurance that they can access emergency services during times of need.Council has partnered with NSW Public Works to manage this initiative, which is jointly funded by the Australian and New South Wales governments.The ability to generate and store renewable energy also provides economic benefits, including savings on the consumption and cost of electricity.This is a great move towards further ensuring that our community and local emergency services are prepared when faced with natural disasters.It is crucial that our local fire services can maintain operational during a bush fire and these new resources will help to achieve that.
