Central Coast Council Watch

Book launch in Kibble Park

December 1, 2024 by Merilyn Vale

A children’s picture book, developed by Central Coast Council, to promote respectful relationships and break down gendered stereotypes of traditional roles within the home, will be launched in Kibble Park on December 5..

The launch of Every Day I Like to Play coincides with an annual campaign called 16 days of Activism against gender-based violence.

Community and Recreation Services Director Melanie Smith said Council worked with the local Central Coast Domestic Violence Committee (CCDVC), to develop the children’s book.

”It aims to promote positive, age-appropriate messages about respectful relationships and break down gendered stereotypes of traditional roles within the home,” Ms Smith said.

CCDVC is community group aiming to prevent, reduce and eliminate domestic and family violence, through education, awareness, advocacy and community engagement.

The Central Coast has the third highest number of domestic violence related incidences in NSW and is also consistently over-represented in statistics for Breach of Apprehended Violence orders.

Every Day I Like to Play will be launched at Kibble Park at 10.30am on Thursday, December 5.

The launch will feature free children’s entertainment and a special outdoor story time session. The session finishes at 11am.
