Councillors are being asked – as a matter of urgency – to sign Council up for a lease for a helicopter business at Warnervale Airport – before they have adopted a masterplan for the site.
The agenda for the November 23 meeting states that the finalised masterplan is expected to be ready for councillors’ consideration in early 2025.
But in the meantime, a business that wants to develop a major helicopter hub at the airport, has made “fresh approaches” to Council in the past month.
“The business has indicated that, without agreement on an urgent basis, it will relocate its proposed development to another State,” Council said.
“This could be to the detriment of future aviation-related business on the Central Coast.”
At only their second ordinary meeting since being elected, the Councillors are being requested to authorise the finalisation of a lease agreement in advance of the final determination of the long-term masterplan.
Will they agree?
All will be revealed on Tuesday, November 26.
