Central Coast Council representatives will today attend the funeral of the former Member for The Entrance, Mr Grant McBride, to pay tribute to his service and commitment to the Central Coast community. 

Council Mayor Jane Smith said Mr McBride was renowned for his commitment to the community and a strong advocate for The Entrance and the Central Coast more broadly.

“Grant will be remembered as a strong and passionate advocate for the Central Coast over a long career and has left a legacy to be proud of,” Mayor Smith said.

“In 2010 he secured the funding to complete the Coast to Lake Walk around the tip of The Entrance Peninsula delivering a fantastic community asset which will be enjoyed for generations to come.

“On behalf of Central Coast Council, I extend our deepest condolences to Grant’s family and friends at this time.”

Council flags at both offices of Central Coast Council are at half-mast today in honour of Mr McBride.
