Development
Council is asking Sydney and Canberra to fund $550 million of Coast projects. Here is the list
The refreshed Key Enabling Projects wishlist, every costed item from the Gosford waterfront to a northern aquatic centre.
Section
Growth + transport
How the Coast grows and moves: development plans, population forecasts and road money, cited to the documents behind them.
Data
The Coast is forecast to grow by 64,000 people by 2046. A quarter of them land around Warnervale
Council’s own forecast says the region grows 18 per cent in 25 years, but one district north of Wyong grows fifteen-fold while Gorokan, Kincumber and Long Jetty barely move. The whole table, charted and sourced.
Transport
Woy Woy Road’s crash-prone Kariong stretch gets $1.6 million for a safety upgrade
A median barrier and high-friction pavement for the kilometre south of Staples Lookout, on a road carrying 20,000 vehicles a day.
