What Central Coast Council decided and what it costs you: budgets, rates and charges, read from the adopted documents.
Council
The new Bateau Bay stairs cost about $650,000, with $245,000 from the state’s Crown Reserves Improvement Fund. Three rounds of that fund’s approved-project records, downloaded and totalled: $2,017,745 into the Central Coast LGA since 2023-24, two of the eight grants to the council, and four to one reserve at Tuggerah.
Council
Five compliance priorities a year for three years, from unhealthy land and Gosford CBD parking now to illegal dumping in 2028-29, plus the distinction that decides what the list actually means. Submissions close Friday 21 August.
Council
A deliberative panel and 189 survey respondents produced near-identical rankings, splitting only on whether affordability or reliability belongs second for water. On sewer they agreed completely. The engagement feeds Council’s IPART submissions.
Council
David Farmer retires on 2 September, and an extraordinary council meeting this Tuesday 28 July will appoint an internal acting chief executive and begin recruiting a permanent one. What the transition means for a council mid-way through re-tooling itself to deliver major projects.
Council money
The one document that decides what gets dug up, repaved and built across the Coast this year, place by place: $40.2 million at the Charmhaven sewage plant, $8.65 million for the Woy Woy intersection, an oval bought in Kincumber, and $38 million of added local priorities.
Council money
The stormwater charge moved from water bills to rates notices on 1 July. What changed, what did not, and where the 3.2 per cent comes from.
