EDITORIAL
We had it all in 2020 AS EVERYONE WILL attest, 2020 was a year full of surprises although one surprise was not a surprise at all. The shenanigans at Central Coast Council could only end one way and those who did not see it coming weren’t taking notice. The year started with bushfires and the Central Coast certainly dodged a bullet as they were extinguished before they got a hold on what could have seen a total disaster. It was then storms and floods but they happen on a regular basis. By March COVID-19 had become an issue and for many businesses only JobKeeper and sundry state and federal grants kept most going. It has been a tough time but, anecdotally we are hearing that most businesses are doing well. With international travel banned, those who would spend all their money in Bali or somewhere like that are spending it on the Central Coast. We hear that our manufacturing sector is going flat chat and so is our building industry. One area which is of concern is the property development sector where Central Coast Council has been ideologically opposed to all forms of development. It goes beyond that and DA’s for factories on industrial zoned land are being stopped because vegetation has to be removed. In addition this thinking has permeated the deliberations of the Local Planning Panel which is supposedly made up of independent experts that determined DA’s.
Two major developments slated for Gosford CBD were approved subject to unrealistic conditions that have put these projects on hold. Meanwhile unemployment on the Central Coast continues to run at around 5.5% (preCOVID) compared with a state average of 4.3%. Commercial real estate agents tell us that enquiry coming out of Sydney from businesses looking to relocate is strong and has only become more so with the opening of NorthConnex. The big problem for our region is that there is very little undeveloped industrial land and much of what has been zoned industrial is not serviced. It has been an issue for close to ten years. The environmentalists think this is great but they have no interest in economic growth and the employment of people, especially our young people where unemployment is close to 15%. And then there was the surprise that wasn’t really a surprise with the Minister for Local Government suspending Central Coast Council and appointing an Interim Administrator for three months on the basis the Council had run out of money and couldn’t pay the wages. Within weeks the Administrator had terminated the employment of the CEO and presented his 30 Day Report which showed, among other things, that Council had accumulated losses of $232 million and was heading $115 million operating loss this financial year.
He also found that staff numbers had increased by 242 when it would be expected with the amalgamation of the two councils that staff numbers would be less. As a result he is undertaking a major sell-off of Council properties, increasing rates by 15% and reducing staff by 300 with the aim of balancing the operating budget in FY2022. One positive is that the University of Newcastle remains committed to establishing a Campus in the Gosford CBD. The Federal Government supports this and we are hopeful that the State Government will see its value and allocate funds to buy the land in the New Year. As you read through this Year Book you will see that it has not been all doom and gloom with investors continuing to invest in the region and businesses moving to the region. With the NSW Premier bringing in the Greater Sydney Commission to bring together key stakeholders in the region to identify new opportunities for economic and employment growth a renewed focus and first-of-its-kind strategy for the region’s future and this is expected to be announced early in 2021. “The Central Coast is a unique region and requires unique solutions, and that’s why a team from the GSC will be specially tasked with developing this Strategy,” said the Premier Edgar Adams – Editor

Central Coast Council – A financial disaster THE ISSUE HAD been brewing all through 2020. Central Coast Council was looking at a deficit of $80 million for the year and the only councillors calling it out were Clrs Best and McLachlan. All others were putting their head in the sand and the CEO had no idea. By October the cash had run out and Minister for Local Government, Shelley Hancock was forced to pay workers wages and payments to suppliers amounting to $6.2 million. That was on the 21st October. By the end of October the Minister had appointed an Interim Administrator, Dick Persson AM and Interim CEO, Rik Hart and suspended the Council, all 15 of them. On taking office Mr Persson said that he was committed to finding out how this financial crisis had occurred and would report to the Minister and the community within 30 days. He delivered his 30-Day Interim Report at an Extraordinary Meeting of Council on 2nd December. A few days before that Mr Persson announced that he had terminated the employment of Mr Gary Murphy, Council’s CEO, in accordance with the provisions of Mr Murphy’s Contract of Employment, effective immediately. Mr Persson said that recruitment of a new Chief Executive Officer will commence shortly. “In the meantime, the Acting CEO Mr Rik Hart and Chief Operating Officer Mr Malcolm Ryan will continue to head the organisation through the challenging times ahead,” he said.
over each of the next two years; Further borrowings; A substantial rate increase; An increase in some Council charges; A major reduction in Council’s senior and middle management numbers; • A reduction in staff numbers to return to the level at the time of amalgamation. “The Council’s rapid financial decline is due to several matters, with most of them not directly related to the amalgamation. “Managing the Council’s financial position is the number one job of the CEO and CFO. It is clear the CEO was either unaware of the looming crisis, or simply failed to adequately respond. Either way the performance of the CEO was unsatisfactory. “Council, in their role as the Governing Body, also shares that financial responsibility. They also failed in this regard. “Central Coast residents have been badly let down by their Council and widespread anger over the Council’s performance is totally understandable. Among the many issues highlighted In the Executive Summary of the Report the Administrator says, “The newly amalgamated Council clearly did not understand how much money they had at the outset. They set about a programme of expanded capital works and expanded services that they could not afford. Apart from budget mismanagement, Council funded much of this new expenditure from Restricted Reserves, which was either unlawful, or done without the approval of the elected body. • • • •
Mr Dick Persson AM The ten page 30-day Interim Report set out the history of how poor financial decisions and catastrophic budget mismanagement had led Australia’s 6th largest council to the situation they find themselves in today. “The financial crisis confronting the Central Coast Council is very serious. Council’s operating loss for the current financial year is on track to be in the order of $115m, this follows last year’s loss of $89m,” Mr Persson said. The Report found that since amalgamation: • Accumulated losses have reached $232m • Debt has risen from $317m to an estimated $565m • Staff numbers have increased by 242 • Restricted reserves of around $200m have been used unlawfully to fund Council opportunities and capital works. “It will take urgent and strong action to turn things around. Tough decisions need to be made immediately”, said Mr Persson. Mr Persson outlined a series of measures to achieve the necessary turnaround: • Significant asset sales of a least $40m

Nexus expands, adds 500 sqm and 10 gigabyte connection
Aerial view of Nexus Smart Hub AN INITIATIVE OF long time Central Coast investor and property developer, Henry Kendall Group, the Nexus Smart Hub in North Wyong has always broken new ground on the Central Coast. Opening in 2014 it was the first co-working space in the region. Nexus combines stunning architectural design, the fastest internet connection on the Coast and a thriving small business ecosystem. From the beginning Nexus reimagined what was possible for a flexible, affordable workspace. Henry Kendall Group Managing Director, Damien Wilde said, “We live in a world that is rapidly changing in so many ways. There has been a lot of discussion in recent years
about decentralisation and changes to the way that people work. Workplace design is evolving, and people are increasingly looking for greater flexibility and the ability to work remotely.” “Evolving technology enabled by fast broadband internet is critical to business. The COVID 19 pandemic has only accelerated these trends,” he said. Nexus Smart Hub is a business that has certainly met the moment. Nexus continues to innovate and expand. Works are currently underway to create an additional 500 square metres over two levels. The new space will incorporate a mix of workstations, meeting rooms and serviced offices. The expansion will also incorporate a café that will be co-located
within Nexus. As part of the expansion Nexus will also upgrade the internet connection from the 1 gigabyte that is currently available to 10 gigabytes. “The internet speed at Nexus has always been something that is completely unique to Nexus so it is really exciting for us to now be able to deliver a 10 gigabyte uncontended connection to the whole building. An ultra-fast low latency dedicated fibre connection like this can really support the digital transformation of business” Mr Wilde said. The new space will be available in February 2021 and Mr Wilde has confirmed that close to 70% of the space has already been pre-leased.

UON opens refurbished Food Science Laboratory THE CENTRAL COAST is well along the way to cementing its place as a leading Food Innovation Region with the opening in March 2020 of the refurbished Food Science Laboratory at the University of Newcastle’s Central Coast Campus Ourimbah. Refurbished at a cost of $1 million, as part of the UON’s $2.6 million teaching space investment in the Campus, the Laboratory was officially opened by Vice-Chancellor, Professor Alex Zelinsky AO along with Faculty of Science Pro VicChancellor Professor Lee Smith and Frank Sammut Executive Officer of Central Coast Industry Connect. The opening was attended by a number of representatives from the region’s food industry. “We see Ourimbah as a Centre of Excellence for Food Science, and an opportunity to strengthen our engagement with industry and community on the Coast,” said Prof. Zelinsky. “Food Science is one of four University programmes which are only offered here on the Central Coast.” “Presently, there are around 100 undergraduate students studying food science and human nutrition on this campus and I am very proud that over 90% of our Food Science graduates find employment within three months of completing their degrees,” he said. “One of the ways Newcastle is different from other universities is that our research activities are strongly aligned to industry needs. We see it as part of our mission to deliver industry-ready graduates to regional

And that is particularly the case here on the Central Coast.” Referring to the region’s food manufacturing capacity Prof. Zelinsky said, “The food industry is a significant contributor to the Central Coast economy and employment. Well-known brands such as MARS Food, Sanitarium, and Cordina Farms all operate in the region. Leveraging off this strength, we aim to build a central hub of related food activity.” “We could not do this without our partners on the Coast. In partnership with Regional Development Australia, Central Coast and Central Coast Industry Connect, the University will work closely with industry partners, many of whom are here this morning. Together we will develop strategic initiatives that respond to the needs of the local food sector, supporting regional development and job growth,” he concluded.
Laboratory opening a Key Milestone for Central Coast Food Innovation Region Commenting on the significance of the Food Science Laboratory at the Ourimbah Campus, CCIC Executive Officer, Frank Sammut said, “ “Today is another milestone in the journey of making the Central Coast a Food Innovation Region. Since the inception of this initiative, established by Regional Development Australia Central Coast in 2017, we have made significant progress in bringing this concept to reality for industry.” “A key milestone early in our journey was the signing of a MOU between UON, RDACC and CCIC, recognising that industry, government and the university needed to work closely together to drive the food initiative to gain outcomes of economic growth and jobs for our region.

Breakthrough energy firm moves to Coast IT WAS ONE of CCBR’s first articles of the year. A new sign on the site of the former Krone factory on the corner of Enterprise Drive – “Star Scientific” had been erected. Intrigued, Central Coast Business Review tracked down Group Chairman Andrew Horvath for an exclusive interview. A family-owned business, Star Scientific is a research and development company that has been investigating nuclear physics for over 30 years, in the area of Muon catalysed fusion. As a spin-off of to this R&D they have discovered and developed a breakthrough catalyst for converting hydrogen into heat without combustion – the Hydrogen Energy Release Optimiser, or “HERO®”. In layperson’s terms, HERO® is a coating, that when affixed to a backing material and introduced to hydrogen and oxygen in a closed environment, “glows”. It quickly generates massive heat and the only output is pure water, which can be re-used in the process. The test units generate over 700 degrees Celsius within about 3 minutes and have produced industrial steam on a small scale. As Andrew Horvath explains it, “we are now in the process of scaling the test units up, to prove HERO®’s applicability for industrial processes such as electricity generation and desalination. Sitting in the Berkeley Vale facility is a purpose-built 1.5-megawatt turbine from Siemens, which we hope to have spinning by the end of this year, powered by hydrogen via the HERO® catalyst.”
Obviously, the prospect of industrial-scale heat generated without combustion has captured global attention. Mr Horvath said, “we are in constant conversation with governments, corporations, investors and energy NGOs across the globe, but with particular interest from the United States, Europe, Japan and Korea. The prospect of extending the life of major capital assets such as power stations and electricity distribution infrastructure has stakeholders most enthusiastic.” The development of HERO® will, however, not be without its challenges. “The biggest challenge we will face is the supply of green hydrogen as HERO® is taken up by industry. From our perspective there are not enough solar farms or wind farms in Australia, not by a long shot, and global competition to supply hydrogen will be fierce. It is good to see, therefore, the Federal Government taking the bull by the horns via Chief Scientist Alan Finkel’s national hydrogen strategy.” Commenting on how this potential global revolution in green energy comes to be located here on the Central Coast Mr Horvath said, “We’ve always had a strong presence in the region. Our first facility was on the Coast before we moved to Newcastle. However, the discovery of HERO® and the need to rapidly scale up meant we needed a larger facility and we just couldn’t find the right space in the Hunter. Then the Berkeley Vale facility came up and it was almost perfect – having said that we have already spent $2 million
Andrew Horvath on it and will probably spend about $5 million before it is right. It will house some of the most sophisticated scientific instrumentation on the globe.” Meanwhile Star Scientific has won the 2020 Global Energy Awards’ Emerging Technology of the Year. Andrew Horvath, Global Group Chairman, Star Scientific Limited said this was a proud moment for the entire team at Star Scientific Limited who have worked passionately to develop HERO® to what it is today. Mr Horvath said, “we were chosen as finalists from some 300 entries from over 36 countries, acknowledged for ingenuity and commercialisation potential. The award recognises that HERO® has created its own category in the energy sector, primed to address a gap that will significantly change global hydrogen use.

Adam Crouch appointed Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast The year 2020 started off with NSW Premier the Hon. Gladys Berejiklian appointing Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch MP, Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast. The announcement was made in midDecember and came after the Gosford Erina Chamber of Commerce made representations to the Premier when the NSW Cabinet held a Community Cabinet meeting on the Central Coast in September 2019. Following the State Election in March 2019 the Premier abolished the position Parliamentary Secretary leaving the Central Coast region without any direct representation with the Government. Prior to this MLC Scot Macdonald was Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter and Central Coast from 2015 until 2019. Mr Crouch’s appointment is significant as it recognises the Central Coast as a region in its own right. Gosford Erina Business Chamber, President Rod Dever said, “The announcement is seen as a positive response to the business community from the NSW State Government. “The appointment reinforces the Premier’s words that the Central Coast is important to the government and is certainly on the government’s radar. Having a Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast allows for greater representation and provides a stronger voice for the region. “The Coast has so many projects which require continued focus, including the Gosford City Redevelopment, which cannot be left lagging,” Mr Dever said.

New jobs at Kangy Angy Rail Maintenance Facility Central Coast recognised as a region
Aerial view of the Kangy Angy Train Maintenance Facility site with maintenance building under construction taken earlier this year AUGUST 2020 SAW the completion of the NSW Government’s $300 million Kangy Angy Rail Maintenance Facility. The purpose-built facility will service and maintain the New Intercity Train Fleet, and features around six kilometres of electric rail lines – seven-tracks across at its widest, access roads, offices and amenities. Inspecting the Facility in August, Minister for Transport Andrew Constance said testing of the facility will continue ahead of the introduction of the New Intercity Fleet later this year. “The Facility has created employment, skills development and business opportunities on the Central Coast during construction and that will all continue into operation,” Mr Constance said. Services across the site comprise: train wash building, traction substation, secu-
rity building, wheel lathe building and maintenance building along with ancillary site works and overhead access bridge off Enterprise Drive. The facility will be operated by UGL Rail, which is part of the RailConnect consortium contracted to design, build and maintain the new fleet. “UGL is currently recruiting for roles in engineering, supply chain, supervision, planning, quality and asset management, with more than 90 positions to be filled over the next 18 months,” Mr Constance said. The design and construction of the facility was delivered by John Holland on behalf of Transport for NSW and will maintain a fleet of 500 train carriages once in full service. Costing $2.3 billion the new Intercity Fleet will service the Blue Mountains, South Coast, Central Coast and Newcastle.
Deputy Premier and Leader of the National Party, The Hon. John Barilaro MP has taken control of regional NSW with the announcement on April 2nd that the NSW Government has a new Department of Regional NSW with him as Minister. Commenting on the change Mr Barilaro said, ‘“The Central Coast is one of the fastest growing regions in NSW and plays an important role in our State’s economy. I have visited the Central Coast many times, as recently as last month, where I visited to learn more about the issues facing communities in the region.” Significantly Mr Barilaro said, “The new Department will have a permanent office based in Gosford, in a newly funded government building. The team located in Gosford focusses on place-based initiatives to address local issues.” “As part of the new Department of Regional NSW, Industry and Trade the Central Coast is eligible for, and has already received, funding for projects and infrastructure from various funds.” “The Central Coast was included in the 20 Year Economic Vision for Regional NSW, launched in 2018.

Work starts on new ING Central Coast home JULY SAW WORK commence on a new $26 million office building at North Wyong for the Gibbens Group to be occupied by ING Australia. ING Australia, which currently operates a call centre at Tuggerah Business Park, will relocate to the new building having signed a long-term lease for 3,600sqm of space over three levels including the ground floor and staff parking for 350 vehicles and will accommodate 600 people. The purpose-built building has been designed to the highest environmental standards with a 4 Green Star rating. It will utilise natural light and provide vistas over Wyong Golf Course. A sprawling garden will give employees the opportunity to work outside of the space to recharge. The ING building forms part of the Wyong Business Park at 4 Dulmison Avenue with a 190m frontage to Pacific Highway and an overall area of 8.26ha which Gibbens Group are developing after acquiring it about five years ago. Addressing those at the Sod-turning Ceremony, ING Australia’s CEO, Uday Sareen said, “We have been on the Central Coast for almost two decades and we are one of the region’s biggest employers. A quarter of our entire Australian workforce is based there. The Coast produces passionate, caring and dedicated people that we want to invest in to help build our business.” “For any organisation to succeed it needs to provide an environment where the health and wellness of employees are prioritised. People are most productive when they have

New facilities for students at Central Coast Grammar School CENTRAL COAST GRAMMAR School at Erina Heights, the region’s premier school and home to over 1,300 girls and boys from Kindergarten to Year 12, has invested over $20M in a new Junior School campus opening in January 2021. The School is currently undertaking a large capital works programme which includes a new Junior School and the conversion of the current K-2 buildings for senior use. Apart from the new Junior School which is due to open for the beginning of the 2021 school year, the School is undertaking another $5M worth of redevelopment which includes the new senior precinct and minor refurbishments to a range of other buildings. “The extra room available through work being undertaken in the senior precinct and other parts of the senior school would reduce overcrowding of students and staff and provide greatly enhanced facilities,” said Headmaster, Bill Low. The reconfiguration and refurbishment of existing K to 2 buildings will feature: • Senior College (Y10-12) administration centre, • Year 12 study centre with digital collaboration zones, • Year 12 common room with large kitchenette, • careers and international programmes offices, • four dynamic and flexible senior learning spaces, • new bathroom facilities, • Social Sciences department office,
New Junior School under construction • Cutting edge technological provision through the whole development • Environmentally sensitive design principles will be employed within the building and landscaping The new Senior College centre responds to the school’s ongoing commitment to next generation education and high quality resources and will have the feel of a modern university campus. Associated works include a sports grandstand with amenities and landscaped recreation areas. The new buildings complement extensive investment in teacher professional development and join an award winning performing arts centre and celebrated
sports facilities to deliver the next generation teaching and learning at the heart of the school’s strategic plan. The past ten years has seen considerable investment in facilities at the School. In 2010 a new Library and Lecture Theatre was opened and in 2012 the School’s Science Block was upgraded to provide state-of-theart facilities including seven laboratories. In 2014 a new Performing Arts Centre featuring a 750-seat auditorium was completed. This was followed in 2018 with extensive refurbishment of facilities for the Senior School as part of the school’s broader master plan and was been designed to reflect the very latest international thinking in learning environments.

Central Coast Clinical School and Research Institute to open in mid-2021 THE CONSTRUCTION OF the $72.5 million Central Coast Research Institute and University of Newcastle Central Coast Clinical School reached a new milestone in November 2020 with the completion of its base-build. Located at Gosford Hospital, the Clinical School will feature a 100-seat lectorial space, seminar rooms, problem-based learning spaces and breakout areas for students, as well as a library. The building will include three simulation labs, and laboratory settings that will expose students to real-life situations they could expect to experience as public health providers when they enter the workforce. Commenting on the project University of Newcastle Vice-Chancellor, Professor Alex Zelinsky, said: “Through our partnership with the Central Coast Local Health District, we are establishing a framework for practical application of lessons in local clinical settings, developing high-quality health practitioners who are reflective of the public health needs of the community in which they will work,” Researchers will have access to dedicated and collaborative spaces, including specialist anatomy, histology and molecular laboratories and a microbiological physical containment level 2 – or PC2 – lab fit to carry out world-class research. The facility will also host the new Central Coast Research Institute (CCRI) operating as a joint venture between the Central Coast
LHD and the University of Newcastle, the Director of the CCRI, Professor Nick Goodwin said, “We know that many people in our community deserve a better care experience and that integrated care is a route towards improving their health care outcomes. We also know that approaches which combine research, innovation, education and knowledge translation help to accelerate the adoption of innovations to achieve such goals.”
Central Coast Research Institute and University of Newcastle Central Coast Clinical School in the Gosford Hospital precinct, nearing completion
A new Gosford Campus While it has been a challenging year for the university sector, with universities unable to welcome international students, and huge changes to teaching, the University is committed to establishing an expanded presence in the Gosford CBD close to the Clinical School and Gosford Hospital. A new campus would further build a world-class education and innovation centre in Gosford, and provide more pathways for local people into university. Just 14% of people on the Central Coast have a bachelor’s degree
or above, compared to 28% in Greater Sydney. The Australian Government has committed $18 million towards the project, and the NSW Government has committed to working with the University of Newcastle to further develop the precinct. The Central Coast Economic Strategy, being developed by the Greater Sydney Commission identifies investment in a university campus in Gosford as one possible key pillar for the future of the Central Coast. The University is working continuously with TAFE NSW to ensure students are well supported to move between the two institutions.

RESDIENTIAL PROPERT Y REVIEW
Residential property market thrives against all odds THE YEAR 2020 has certainly been an interesting one for Central Coast real estate. Some predicted that the market would crash, however surprisingly, By Jess Verrender the opposite has occurred in our region. While agents reported the slowest April on record, there was still growth on the coast during coronavirus lockdowns. According to CoreLogic, Central Coast property values grew by 0.2 per cent in the March-June period, while in Sydney values dipped down to -0.8 per cent. Since then, the local market has skyrocketed. Annual growth as at 30 November was 8.4 per cent for the Central Coast, while Sydney was just 3.7 per cent. Fortunately for the entire nation, the year has ended on a bit of a high for real estate, with CoreLogic’s November Home Value Indices reporting dwelling value rises across every capital city and rest-of-state region. The success of the Central Coast market has been mainly attributed to new working from home conditions and record low interest rates. Mortgage payment deferrals also helped keep things afloat. The year started out strong, but by the end of March, the industry was forced to adapt to our new world by making a quick pivot to online inspections, 3D tours and video appointments. Director of McGrath Central Coast Jaimie Woodcock said that by June and into July it was becoming quite clear that the doom and gloom of the COVID market was in fact playing out in a very different manner than expected on the Central Coast. “The rush to move from Sydney was on, and we found levels of enquiry, open home inspections and registered bidders at auctions were at unprecedented numbers,” he said. McGrath, the coast’s largest agency with over 100 staff and nearly 2000 properties under management, sold $1 billion worth of property across all sectors in 2020. “During August, September, October and November we’ve seen many suburb records broken, average sale price increases of over 30 per cent in some suburbs, the highest auction clearance rates in Australia,” Mr Woodcock said. “We have some of the most searched suburbs on the main online portals across the country and the rental market is the strongest I’ve experienced in over 25 years in the local market. We’re experiencing inspections on properties with over 50 groups and 20 applications on a property is
29 Green Point Road, Pearl Beach not unusual. The vacancy rate now sits well below 1 per cent across the Central Coast.” Wiseberry Principal Darin Butcher, who owns three offices on the northern end of the coast, gave similar feedback. “The first couple of weeks when COVID hit was tough, but pretty soon the Central Coast was thriving,” he said. “When people from the city realized that they could be more mobile and work from home, it just added a whole new perspective on where you did business, and the Central Coast was just a great spot for people to come who always thought, ‘Hey, I’ll retire on the coast’ or, ‘I want to go there one day’ and they just made it happen.” Mr Butcher also noticed an increase in investors buying into the region. “We can see by that supply and demand that the rental prices have gone up. There’s no question about it, and they’ll continue to go up. Interest rates are coming down, investment prices are going up,” he said. “Investors are starting to buy because Top five residential sales for 2020 (settled) according to CoreLogic as at 8 Dec 350 Cullens Rd, Copacabana – sold 24 Nov for $5.3m (suburb record) 65 Forresters Beach Rd, Forresters Bech – sold 10 Jul for $5.2m (suburb record) 44 Ocean St, North Avoca – sold 25 Nov for $5m (suburb record) 32 Whalans Rd, Forresters Beach – sold 7 Jul for $5m 36 Coral Cr, Pearl Beach – sold 21 Feb for $5m
they are getting excellent returns. There is also talk of more interest rate drops – we are hearing about rates under two per cent, which is unbelievable.” Mr Woodcock said that there was an emerging market for properties over the $5 million mark on the Central Coast. “We’ve seen numerous sales this year, even over $6 million, and there’s no shortage of buyers prepared to pay these prices for quality property,” he said. “The big winners for me have been the rural market and the quality built homes near the beach. I’ve seen sales that represent a 40 per cent increase in value in the past 12 months alone around these two sectors.” Holiday house specialist Cathy Baker of Belle Property Central Coast said that throughout 2020 she had experienced high end holiday home inventors paying up to double figures for holiday homes, with some luxury holiday returns providing over $250,000 pa in returns. “The new trend is holidaying locally with family and friends, with overseas holidays replaced by holiday homes purchases,” she said. “I don’t see this changing in a while.” While the prestige market has performed well, local renters are finding it increasingly difficult to find a property, as Sydneysiders swarm the market and vacancy rates drop to a staggeringly low 0.5 per cent. In the previous edition of Central Coast Business Review, Ray White Terrigal agent Rod Amos suggested that the situation could see the region on the verge of a social crisis. “Less than 1 in every 200 rental properties is available for rent. This presents a dire situation, a potential homelessness scenario,” he said.

Bouddi Foundation for the Arts 2020 Tenth Year WAGSTAFFE HALL WAS filled with creative and talented young artists over the weekend of August 15 and 16. Offering a taste of the Central Coast’s abundant talent across many genres…dancers, singer/songwriters, painters, photographers, classical pianists, writers and art curators, and even a band, the Little Quirks, it confirmed the reality that our own young home-grown artists are alive and flourishing! 2020 was exceptional in more ways… three inaugural awards: Allen and Unwin creative Writing award… overseen by Patrick Gallagher AM, Chairman of Allen and Unwin publishing; the John and Merran Adams award for a visual artist; and a third to honour the memory of our community’s beloved Narelle Jones.
John Bell, founder and leader of the BFA commented “This, our tenth year, has clearly established BFA’s reputation and worth in the community, amongst teachers, parents, and especially the young artists themselves. No one would have forecast auditions with masks, temperature-taking, and social distancing but everyone displayed discipline and nothing was lost in the standard of the performances or the quality of communication between auditioners and their adjudicators. Seeking a major sponsor With the Bouddi Foundation for the Arts Awards now firmly established Mr Bell said that the Committee is now seeking to attract a major Central Coast sponsor. Presently Origin Theatrical sponsors the

Roses Only picks Coast for growth ROSES ONLY, AUSTRALIA’S largest online flower seller sees the Central Coast and the Lower Hunter as a significant growth area over the next five years and in September 2020 set up a distribution centre at West Gosford to service the area. Chairman and major shareholder, Jack Singleton, said that the location in Enterprise Close, West Gosford to service the region was a decision based on data that showed the Central Coast was the ninth biggest market in Australia and growing, and as a distribution centre across the Coast and into Newcastle West Gosford is the most effective location. Not only that, with the opening of North Connex very soon it will be the right location to service the northern suburbs of Sydney. “The data we have shows that spending on flowers on the Central Coast is strong and growing and the average price per sale is above the industry average,” said Mr Singleton.
“We also see a strong market here for corporate gifts,” he said. “Our plan is to have 10 delivery centres servicing the major cities and 10 centres across regional Australia over the next five years,” Mr Singleton said.

Erina company outfoxing shoplifters In the retail trade its called 'shrinkage,' but it is straight out theft. An Australian-based study has found that shoplifting is surging, with major retailers losing over $3.3 billion last year alone. Shoplifting is so prevalent that it has spawned an entire industry with shoplifters working together and operating their own how-to-steal websites," says Robert Bodill, Co-owner and Managing Director of Erina based manufacturer of a new innovative anti-theft device for clothing stores, FoxGuard Security. For the past fifteen years, Mr Bodill has been importing and distributing a range
of technologies in the retail security sector both here and abroad. Since its inception in June 2019, Fox Guard's unique security tag has swept through the retail industry. The results have been phenomenal, with reductions in shoplifting of between 50% to 80% and an average return on investment (ROI) of 12 months or less. His first significant sale was in June 2019 to Rebel Sport who bought 300,000 units for twenty of their stores. Off the back of that successful trial, Rebel is now rolling out Fox Guard across their entire store network.
In February 2020 Mr Bodill and Mr Klumper visited the world's biggest retail trade fair, Euroshop in Germany, and while there successfully negotiated to buy the global manufacturing and intellectual rights for the full range of LOXXYS products. Within three months they had set up a USA office and warehouse in Charlotte, North Carolina, appointed a CEO and had made their first sale to a major retailer. Except that the coronavirus hit within a month forcing the business to hibernate until trade-as-usual returns.
A first for the Coast’s food industry CEO’S OF THE region’s largest food manufacturers met in February to discuss potential collaborations that would benefit both the industry and the region. The CEO’s forum was hosted by Sanitarium at their head office at Berkeley Vale. Commenting on the meeting, Frank Sammut, Executive Officer of Central Coast Industry Connect (CCIC) said. “I have worked in the food sector for over 30 years, and I believe that this is a first for our region to have all the CEO’s of our largest food companies come together to lead the charge for stronger collaboration throughout the sector. This sort of thing doesn’t happen readily and I am excited to see where it leads” he said The Central Coast Food Alliance (CCFA) has created a great foundation off the back
of a strong 2019 and saw an opportunity to continue this momentum into 2020 by initiating this industry CEO forum. “Whilst the larger portion and backbone of the food industry is small business, it is important to recognise that the region has some of the country’s largest food manufacturer’s head offices located here, and it is vital to have their commitment and collaboration to see continued growth as a sector “said Dan Farmer, General Manager of the Central Coast Food Alliance. The event was conducted over breakfast and through a round of introductions the desire for collaboration was apparent. Companies represented were Sanitarium, Cordina Group, Mars Food Australia, Agrana Fruit Australia, Life Health Foods and TrendPac.
Business and operational challenges were discussed openly with many areas of opportunity quickly identified. The role for CCFA will be in facilitating collaboration and delivering programmes of change, something that was well received by the forum. “Being that this was a first for the local sector, we wanted this meeting to be all about the industry leaders to get to know each other and build trust. I was really impressed to see such strong commitment from the CEO participants to future forums such as this, and it was very clear that they valued the connection, the thought leadership, and the enhanced opportunity to make a difference” said Peter Crane, Chair of the Central Coast Food Alliance.

Chamberlain to lift output following Atlanta USA Expo Chamberlain Group is expecting output of their Grifco Poultry Winch, which is made at their West Gosford factory, to increase by 12% and generate $2.5 million worth of sales following their attendance at the IPPE (International Production and Processing Expo) in Atlanta in January.

Phoenix Packaging Expands at Somersby The Central Coast’s only manufacturer of cardboard cartons and packaging solutions moved into a 2,500 sqm warehouse at Somersby in early 2020, substantially increasing their manufacturing, design and logistics capacity. Phoenix was set up in 2016 by Marc Roberts, David McPherson and Josh Searle who had worked together in a similar business which was forced to close. Phoenix has a mission to offer something the large companies don’t - applying their experience in working with businesses of any size to solve packaging issues to genuinely improve their business. One of their strengths is a full design ser-
vice to help their customers create product specific packaging from prototype design and material testing to the final product, produced on site and even with instant full digital colour printing direct to cardboard, a unique offering indeed, meaning there are no expensive print plates required. Phoenix is the only company that has the capability to offer short run along with large volume production that ensures they can meet a large existing customer’s needs while still being able to support a startup business and supporting them as they grow. Commenting on their success Phoenix Director Marc Roberts said, “We are excited
Central Coast Council – A financial disaster The previous CFO, Mr Craig Norman and CEO, Mr Gary Murphy were aware of this unlawful use of funds.” “There is no evidence of theft or corruption,” he said. “The Council’s rapid financial decline is in part due to several matters, with only the IT costs directly related to the amalgamation: 1. The substantial costs in upgrading IT systems and infrastructure (net of $10m Government grant) is $50m, with $8m ongoing. 2. The substantial costs of an industrial dispute concerning 38/35 hour week, unified salary scale and other harmonisation costs [$25.3m, with $3.2m on-going]. 3. The $39m loss of revenue (compared to

2018/19) from the 2019 IPART pricing determination for water, sewerage, stormwater drainage and trade waste services. 4. The increased costs and revenue losses brought about by the bushfires, floods and COVID-19 are estimated at $10.5m. This very substantial sum of new costs seems to have been overlooked by the new Council as it embarked on major spending programmes in both capital works and general operations. “A catastrophic error of the amalgamated Council was their failure to understand that the organisation had less than $5m in unrestricted cash (excluding Water and Sewer Fund) at the beginning of amalgamation. In the first year of operation, there was an
operating surplus of $65m, which was predominantly driven by a one-off operating grant of approximately $40m. “In respect of staffing there are now 250 more people (FTE) employed now than at the time of the amalgamation. Additionally Council embarked on a number of expansive initiatives, some with highly paid staff that resulted in employee costs outstripping projected growth. Actions are in-train to deal with this situation, however the willingness of lenders to provide necessary further loans [either private or public] is totally dependent upon the Council embarking on an urgent turnaround strategy to ensure next year’s budget is at least ‘break even’.
