Council to spend $1 million on Peninsula

Three of Central Coast Council's major projects will inject more than $1 million into the Peninsula.

The 10 major projects to improve community services, facilities and deliver new infrastructure on the Central Coast have been given a slice of $9 million in funding through the NSW State Government's Stronger Communities Fund, following the establishment of Central Coast Council.

New starting blocks and an electronic timing system will be installed at Peninsula Leisure Centre at a cost of $135,000.

A playground at the Umina Child Care Centre will be renovated and upgraded at a cost of about $60,000, from $122,500 of funding to be shared with Niagara Park Children's Centre.

Amenities at Austin Butler Oval and Woy Woy Tennis Courts will be redeveloped at a cost of $900,000.

Council administrator Mr Ian Reynolds said the funding was made available as a direct result of amalgamation and was designed to fast track the delivery of priority infrastructure and services the Central Coast community needed, wanted and valued.
