Welcome to the
Central Coast
Central Coast Council, Mayor and Councillors

The Central Coast Council is represented by 15 Councillors who were elected for a 4-year term, until September 2028.
A Councillor’s role as an elected representative is to provide an essential link between the community and Council. Councillors must work as a team to make decisions and policies that guide the activities of the council.

Plan and prepare for emergencies

Bushfires and severe storms are more common this time of year and can impact any of our communities on the Central Coast. Being prepared for emergencies can save lives, property and helps our community to recover more quickly from emergency events when they do occur.
