Central Coast Council adopted the 2023-24 Operational Plan on June 27 at its Ordinary Council Meeting

The Operational Plan identifies a focus on maintaining our road networks, caring for community open space, as well as working on improving the response time for development applications. These priorities respond to the key themes that the community told us were important during consultation activities and engagement.

Some of the 2023-24 Operational Plan highlights include:

•    A comprehensive roads, drainage and pathways investment of $58 million. These improvement projects include road and drainage upgrades at Lakedge Avenue, Berkeley Vale; Del Monte Place, Copacabana; Virginia Road and Warnervale Roads, and Hamlyn Terrace, the Magenta Shared Path, plus an extensive Road Renewal Programs with works planned across the region.
•    Water and sewer upgrades totalling $84.15 million with key projects such as the South Tacoma Low Pressure Sewer System Installation, an upgrade of Mardi Water Treatment Plant and ongoing sewer pump station and rising main upgrades across the region.
•    Significant investment of $24.14 million in community and recreation facilities and programs Some projects include the commencement of construction for the Gosford Regional Library and Umina Skate Park Upgrade, sportsground drainage and irrigation improvements, and playspace renewals right across the Central Coast.
•    An investment of $10.19 million total in other planned infrastructure projects for the community which also support economic growth across the coast including improvements at Council’s four holiday parks and the renewal of beach access at Jenny Dixon and Soldiers Beach, Norah Head.
•    Additionally, a further $40.46 million of infrastructure projects have been identified and are dependent on successfully obtaining available funding grants.
