Central Coast Regional Plan

Vision

A healthy natural environment, a flourishing economy and well–connected communities.

Goal 1 – A prosperous Central Coast with more jobs close to home

The Central Coast's economic strengths lie in its skilled workforce, proximity to Sydney, growing population, natural environment and resources.

Goal 2 – Protect the natural environment and manage the use of agricultural and resource lands

The region's natural environment is its distinguishing feature. Kilometres of ocean foreshore, coastal lakes, rivers, estuaries, lagoons, valleys and mountains have created corridors that have shaped the region's development.

Goal 3 – Well–connected communities and attractive lifestyles

The region’s abundance of natural assets – beaches, bush and waterways – offers attractive lifestyles and settings, for a network of centres that service the region's population.

Goal 4 – A variety of housing choice to suit needs and lifestyles

Providing a variety of housing types, including more affordable options in both existing and new areas across the region will allow people to age-in-place and maintain their connections with social networks and family.
