McWaide calls for exemption for events on council land
West Ward Councillor Trent McWaide will move for a "simplified development approval pathway for events" at the council meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, February 25.
He will ask the council to prepare an event strategy "which would exempt temporary events on Council land from the requirement for development consent".
"Similar provisions were previously included in the Gosford Local Environmental Plan but removed from the Central Coast Local Environment Plan upon its adoption.
"Such events would be controlled under the existing requirement for operators to gain approval for use of Council land under the provisions of the Local Government Act."
Cr McWaide said events were important to the region "in both economic and social terms".
His motion will ask for an event strategy to be drafted "for the purpose of increasing events for the Central Coast and establishing a range of actions to work towards that purpose".
