Public Notices

AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING

Given reports that federal government funding for a high speed rail project has been reallocated, council will write to local state and federal members to seek confirmation that both levels of government still support the project. Council will emphasise the importance of high speed rail to Central Coast residents, especially commuters.

AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING

Council has extended its current Central Coast Stadium catering contract with Gema Group Holdings Pty Ltd for a further five years. As part of the contract extension, Gema Group Holdings has also been given approval to make significant investments to update and improve catering facilities at the stadium. This will ensure quality catering services continue to be provided at the stadium.

AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING

In the latest round of Heritage Grants, there were 17 applications from owners of private dwellings and community groups who manage and conserve some of our most significant heritage items. Following an assessment of all applications, 10 properties were allocated a total of $47,000 in funding.

The Heritage Grants Program provides financial assistance to property owners and managers to conserve identified heritage items within the Gosford LGA.

AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING

Social procurement is a strategic approach to using processes and purchasing power to generate positive social and economic benefits for the community. So that council can continue to contribute significantly to these outcomes through its procurement and project management activities, a working group will be established to consider implementing a Social Procurement policy.
