Central Coast Council Watch

February meeting highlights

Airport masterplan in six months
 
A Status Update on Active Council Resolutions tells us that the airport masterplan was supposed to come back to Council by the end of 2023 but it will be the middle of year before we see it.
Other reports such as the Winney Bay upgrade plan and the mountain bike plan are also behind schedule.

COSS Trial support “in principle”
The administrator has resolved to defer the implementation of a COSS Reserve trial at Warnervale Floodplain and Porters Creek Wetland until other various matters are addressed. The Coastal Open Space System (COSS) committee wanted Porters Creek Wetland and Warnervale Wetland selected as the preferred site to trial the expansion of COSS into the northern section of the Central Coast Council.
“Council’s resolution on the draft Central Coast Airport Masterplan may result in a change to the footprint of the airport, realignment of property boundaries and/or rezoning.
“In order to avoid a potential misalignment of Council resolutions on the airport masterplan and the proposed COSS Reserve trial, the extent of the COSS Reserve trial area should be defined after the footprint of the airport is adopted by Council.
“It is recommended that Council provide in-principle support to the proposed COSS Reserve trial but first consider other implications that affect the land proposed for the trial prior to implementing.”
