Central Coast Council have identified twelve regional projects of significance that could benefit from funding over the next three to five years.
The 2022 Key Enabling Projects Prospectus tabled at Tuesday’s Ordinary Council Meeting outlines the overall vision and details of projects ranging from infrastructure upgrades through to community sport facilities that will benefit the Coast’s residents for generations to come.
With a State Election due in March 2023, this document will be a driving force to help Council advocate for projects that need to secure additional funds.
It will also allow the community to learn more about these projects and how much funding is required to make them a reality.
Council Administrator Rik Hart said the Key Enabling Projects Prospectus is an important milestone for Council that will allow improved visibility of the organisation’s short to mid-term capital works priorities.
“I am particularly delighted that staff have been able to identify priority areas for investment in the northern areas of the Central Coast,” said Mr Hart.
“While the prospectus does contain an infrastructure wish-list that will benefit the entire community, it is important that we put in place plans to ensure that areas of population growth will get the benefits they need.
“Council will use this prospectus to advocate for projects that we feel will help our community,” he concluded.
Chief Executive Officer of Regional Development Australia Central Coast John Mouland is a key supporter of Council’s strategy.
“The Central Coast is one of Australia’s fastest growing regions. The decisions that are made now will ensure that the region and community has everything needed for a liveable and sustainable future.
“It’s important that Council and Regional Development Australia continue to build on our strong relationship,” Mr Mouland said.
