Labor Party

Councillors Jim Macfadyen and Vicki Scott have worked to deliver for Gosford in the eight years they have been on Council.

Jim has been the force behind rebuilding local surf clubs while Vicki has fought for playgrounds and library services.

Five reasons to support Labor at the election:

1. Getting the basics right with improved roads, rubbish collection, water and sports, community and library services.

2. Capping rate rises.

Labor won't follow the Sydney councils that have burdened their ratepayers with increases.

3. Holding community council meetings outside of Gosford CBD.

4. Listening to the community to protect our unique lifestyle.

5. Supporting local jobs and the revitalisation of Gosford CBD, including projects near the waterfront.

Jim is a life member of Surf Lifesaving Central Coast and is credited for the removal of the sea level rise s149 (5) messages from local planning certificates.

Vicki is active in local women's issues and is a leader across NSW promoting women in local government.

Peter McCabe went to school on the Coast and lives with his wife Kellie and young family in Springfield.

He has been a commuter for most of his working life and is passionate about revitalising Gosford.

Trevor Drake is a local small business owner of an established legal practice and lives with his family in Terrigal.

Katie Smith lives and works on the Peninsula and understands that the most basic services are often the most important.

Pat Norman, Paul Malone, Brad Maisey, Liam O'Neill and George Sidiropoulos complete the ticket.
