New plans for Pelican Park

We’re asking you to vote on the future design of Pelican Park, Woy Woy which has reached the end of its design life. You can have your say on three design concepts that include:

• Traditional play

• Pirate themed play

• Nature play

We want to hear from you on which design you would prefer to replace the current play space.

Vote for your favourite design by 5pm Friday 16 June at yourvoiceourcoast.com/ pelicanparkconcepts

Sewer works underway across the Central Coast

We have recently replaced faulty sections of the sewer rising main at Koowang Rd, Gwandalan to improve reliability and resilience of the sewer system. Our crews carry out water and sewer infrastructure work across our vast networks stretching the entire Coast, servicing over 345,000 residents.

To see further works search, ‘capital works program’ at centralcoast.nsw.gov.au

The life cycle of our roads

You’ve asked us why potholes are filled instead of doing longer term repairs. In short, we do both over the life cycle of a road and to manage the network in an economic and sustainable way. Basic pothole filling is the first level of maintenance but where potholes consistently reoccur, longer lasting heavy patch repair is considered.
