COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS

Central Coast Council is committed to working with residents to build stronger, safer and healthier communities. That’s why we’ve created a series of Community Conversations to give residents the opportunity to meet their elected members and raise local issues that are important to them.

Every year, the Community Conversation in each town will rotate between daytime (10am – 12-midday) and nighttime (6:30pm – 8:30pm). This is to accommodate for different schedules and availabilities.  

Have your say

Community Conversations are a great opportunity to come along and talk about what is happening in each local area, swap ideas and information, and set priorities.

Residents will be given the opportunity to submit talking points prior to the event or contribute to the discussion during the event.  After the discussions conclude, councillors and staff invite residents to join them for light nibbles. 

Please RSVP and submit all talking points via email exec@centralcoast.tas.gov.au or 6429 8900 by the Monday prior to the event.

Actions & Updates 2023

To remain accountable, ahead of each Community Conversation, Council will now provide the community with an update on the actions that came out of the Community Conversations held in their local area in 2023.
