Council referendum to proceed
Central Coast Council will proceed with its referendum on councillor and ward numbers despite its council elections being postponed
The referendum will be held on 4 September 4, the same day local government elections are being held across New South Wales.
The referendum will ask:
Do you favour a reduction in the number of Central Coast councillors from 15 to nine?
"This will result in three wards with each ward electing three councillors," said Administrator Dick Persson.
He said the referendum was continuing so that any structure changes could take effect at the next local election.
