Central Coast Council will shortly commence consultation with the community on a series of projects in and around the Terrigal commercial precinct.

Mayor Jane Smith said as Terrigal continues to grow as a popular destination for visitors and Central Coast residents alike, Council is working to enhance the amenity of the area through the delivery of major infrastructure and urban design projects.

“Throughout February, Council will be providing information to the community and seeking feedback on key projects including changes to traffic flow through the Terrigal CBD and the installation of smart parking sensors to improve parking in the area,” Mayor Jane Smith said.

“Once completed, these projects will improve traffic flow and parking as well as deliver improvements to the general amenity of the area for tourists and residents alike.

“I encourage the community to come along to one of our Let’s Talk Terrigal information sessions later this month.”

The works planned for Terrigal CBD valued at $2,209,000 have been funded through the NSW State Government’s Stronger Communities Fund made available to all newly merged Councils.

The installation of smart parking sensors, including the development of a smartphone App that the community can use to find their closest available parking space, has been made possible through a grant of $114,000 from the Australian Government’s Smart Cities and Suburbs Program.

Council is also investigating further opportunities to improve parking in Terrigal as part of a region-wide parking strategy and will be seeking community input as this is developed.

Information sessions will be held on Monday 26 February and Wednesday 28 February from 6.30pm – 8.30pm at Terrigal Surf Club.

Community feedback is open until 2 March, 2018.
