Coastal Twist Festival applies for Carnie Fair Day
The Coastal Twist Festival has applied to Central Coast Council to hold its Coastie Carnie Fair Day at the Peninsula Recreation Precinct on Sunday, October 5.
The market is planned to include up to 120 stalls offering a variety of goods and services, alongside live entertainment featuring music and a dog show.
The application states the aim of the Coastie Carnie Fair Day is to foster community spirit, celebrate diversity, and boost tourism in the Central Coast region.
Set up will start from 5am, with the market running from 10am to 5pm.
Dismantling is expected to be completed by 8pm.
To manage waste, the event organiser will arrange for additional bins through Central Coast Council.
Stallholders will have the responsibility for managing their own waste.
The event will rely on parking in surrounding streets and existing car parks to cater for its requirements.
The application, prepared by Funhaus Factory, states that the day aligns with the objectives of the RE1 Public Recreation zone and will not compromise future development of the land or have detrimental environmental effects.
It was hoped the Coastie Carnie Fair Day would be a positive event for the community, offering a day of fun and celebration while ensuring responsible management of the event site.
The application is currently open for public comment, which closes on May 7.
