Implementation plan expected

The long-awaited Implementation Plan for the Shaping the Central Coast regional strategy plan is expected to be released in draft form by the Department of Urban Affairs and Planning this week.

Gosford and Wyong Councils are expected to be given eight weeks to comment on the plan before it is finalised.

It is understood the draft plan will also be circulated to "key stakeholder" bodies, such as environmental groups and chambers of commerce, with a six-week comment period.
