Taste of Wyong pop-up a success
Thanks to everyone who attended the fantastic Taste of Wyong event on Saturday 10 June, and to those who stopped by for a chat with me.
It was fantastic to hear the diverse perspectives of those who came by the Central Coast Council tent, where our conversations ranged from parking, sewer services and development assessment, to tourism, community gardens, the Gosford Waterfront project, our mighty Mariners win, and more!
The Taste of Wyong event was one of the 32 Harvest Festival hubs which brought the Coast to life over the June long weekend and shone a light on the region’s spectacular local produce.
I really valued the chance to hear directly from you about what matters to you and I look forward to my next pop-up at a Council event later this year.
For those who couldn’t make it but would like to get in touch, you are welcome to contact me at theadministrator@ centralcoast.nsw.gov.au or by writing to PO Box 20, Wyong NSW 2259.
The Coast has three new Emergency Response Beacon’s at Budgewoi Beach, The Entrance Channel and Pearl Beach.
