The development industry is reporting unprecedented demand for employment land and new housing on the Coast. At the same time the Greater Sydney Commission has been tasked with delivering a Central Coast economic development strategy, and Council is undergoing massive changes with an uncertain future. What is the status of the GSC strategy, what opportunities will it present for our industry and the region’s overall growth, and what happens when the GSC’s work is finished? What role will Council play in delivering the strategy, and how have Council’s planning divisions changed? Join us at the UDIA NSW Central Coast Luncheon to hear from Jackie Taranto, GSC’s Economic Commissioner, and Malcolm Ryan, Central Coast Council’s Acting Chief Operating Officer, who will address these important questions.
