Proposal to review Council facilities management

The use and management of Council's community facilities will be the subject of a review by a working group comprising interested Councillors and Central Coast Council staff if a Mayoral Minute is adopted.

The Mayoral Minute will be considered at the next ordinary meeting of Central Coast Council on Monday, September 24.

Mayor Cr Jane Smith will call for Council to engage with the community "in order to identify key issues and determine the scope of the review".

If the Mayoral Minute is adopted, it will "request CEO Gary Murphy to engage an appropriate consultant to assist with the review".

Cr Smith called for Council to be provided with a progress report at the first meeting in February outlining key actions and milestones in the review process.

"In recent years, there has been a high level of community concern about changes in the way that Council manages community facilities," the Mayoral Minute said.

"These concerns have included changes to the management structure of facilities, a move between leases and licenses and changes to pricing structures.

"The purpose of this motion is to undertaken a review of the issues that have been raised by the community and put forward a model for the future."

The Mayoral Minute had originally been placed on the agenda for discussion at the August 13 Council meeting but had been deferred.
