Central Coast First - Laurie Maher

Central Coast First is the only party that has been formed by local representation with a focus on local issues that aren't politically motivated.

It is not about being left or right, or green politics. Central Coast First is about restoring a stable Council with sensible and sustainable policies that strike the correct balance between "growth" and "green" values.

Central Coast First Peninsula representatives Peter Hale, Greg Sandell, Nick Kalantzis and Daryl Lynch are integral members.

Laurie Maher leads this most credible and experienced team with Jennifer Harwood, Wendy Eschler, Mike Goodway and publisher Edgar Adams joining them.

The objective of Central Coast First is clear- put the Central Coast where it belongs, first.

Let's listen to the community, have an inclusive approach and undertake community consultation. Let's get Council moving effectively so that planning takes place and decisions are made in an efficient and timely manner.

Central Coast First will seek a new confidence in Council and put an end to the political bickering to allow its management team to perform their duties without interference from councillors.

Central Coast First agrees that we do not want to witness another Woy Woy pool debacle, awards for being the most complained about Council, the lack of kerbing and guttering, the wasted millions spent by Council on legal fees and consultants and the unnecessary and time wasting delays dealing with DA approvals.

Central Coast First stands for:

Proactive and visionary planning to cater for growth, affordable housing, local jobs, roads, kerbing and gutters plus footpaths, tree planting programs on reserves and roadways, respecting our elderly by providing subsidies and transport and protecting our environment.

Vote 1 Central Coast First, for a better Council, for better management, for better planning, and ultimately better decisions.
