Council to set sports fields charges

Sporting groups have a chance to comment until October 11 on the fees Central Coast Council will charge for its sports fields.

Copies of the proposed changes will be displayed at Umina and Woy Woy libraries from September 13.

The proposal will see fees for 2019-20 set per day per field at $1363.25 (level 1), $1260.75 (level 2) and $858.87 (level 3).

The adoption of the new fee will reduce council's income by an estimated $7000 in 2019-20 financial year but council noted that this would vary dependant on the requests for ground usage.

Council adopted its fees and charges in June but in August it proposed to change the categorisation of a number of sporting fields and charge a new, lower rate.

Ovals affected included Eve Williams at Patonga.
