Community workshop - Have your say - Local Strategic Planning Statement 

Sunday, 31 August 2025

3-5pm, Peninsula Community Centre

* Please note that this is not an official Central Coast Council event *

Central Coast Council is required to prepare and make a local strategic planning statement (LSPS) that will help guide future planning and development in your local area.

Local strategic planning statements (LSPS) will set out

  • the 20-year vision for land use in the local area
  • the special characteristics which contribute to local identity
  • shared community values to be maintained and enhanced
  • how growth and change will be managed into the future.

COSS Supporters will continue the legacy of Beryl and Allen Strom, and many others, who fought to protect vital conservation areas on the Central Coast and across the State. 

We have national parks and the COSS system because of the efforts of our community, and we need more champions like them.
