With the long weekend upon us the Central Coast welcomes the easing of travel restrictions that will enable visitors to come and experience what our region has to offer.

The Coast is well positioned to capture demand out of Sydney and surrounds. I encourage visitors and locals to support tourism and small businesses, through revisiting some places that you have not visited for some time. 

I thank the Central Coast community, and any visitors from 1 June, for taking COVID-19 seriously and ask that everyone continues to follow Government directions.

So what’s on offer? Pull out your winter wears, get out and about and try great food and local produce, including various tourist attractions now open and listed at visitcentralcoast.com.au

Rest assured, Council is rolling out a staged approach to the reopening of eligible facilities to ensure the safety of our community, staff and visitors including:

• Central Coast Holiday Parks – cabins, caravan and campsites at Budgewoi, Canton Beach, Norah Head, Toowoon Bay, Patonga
• Gosford Pool, play spaces, outdoor fitness equipment and skateparks
• Library Branches at Erina, Tuggerah, Bateau Bay and Umina Beach.

Increased sanitising, cleaning and record keeping will be in place to ensure venues are safe and friendly places for community members and visitors.
