Council adopts community land management plan
Central Coast Council has adopted its generic region-wide Plan of Management for Community Land.
Despite 350 submissions, the draft plan was adopted largely unchanged at last Wednesday's Council meeting.
The plan comes into effect this Wednesday, May 3.
It covers all Council-owned community land except Kincumba Mountain, Central Coast Stadium and Gosford City Bowling Club, which retain their existing plans of management.
The Blackwall Mountain Plan of Management is extinguished by the decision.
The categorisation of around 14 per cent of parcels in the plan will be reviewed within the next 12 months.
Council director Dr Alice Howe said: "The adoption of the Plan of Management gives added security and clarity to the community and stakeholders.
"The Plan of Management will supersede the outdated plans currently existing and will allow us to extend leases for community organisations and sporting groups to existing services such as community halls and facilities."
Dr Howe said: "We will continue to engage with the community about the most appropriate use of community land and will review how individual parcels of land are used over time to ensure that the most sustainable outcomes are achieved."
