Council Chief Executive Officer, Gary Murphy said essential services will continue as the situation with Coronavirus (COVID-19) evolves.

“Council is focused on the continued delivery of the essential services needed to support our community now, but we are also continuing with essential works to cater for the future needs of our community when life returns to normal,” Mr Murphy said.

“Important maintenance work and projects continue including upgrades to open space and recreation infrastructure, road maintenance and construction, and water and sewer maintenance and upgrades.

“Council is also continuing with established projects including the construction of Terrigal Boardwalk, upgrade of the Rock Pool and the Mardi to Warnervale Pipeline, with adjustments made to comply with the latest NSW Health and Government requirements around social distancing and keeping our staff and community safe.”

Central Coast Mayor Lisa Matthews said continuing these essential works is important for people and for the local economy.
