Thank you for your feedback!

We are now reviewing your feedback and developing our new Youth Strategy, follow this page to stay updated!

Central Coast Council is building a new Youth Strategy, and we need your help!

We asked young people aged 12-24, youth sector professionals and interested community members to share what matters to them, and how Council can make the coast even better for young people.

You could get involved by completing the survey or adding a comment to the ideas board below.

Watch this space! We are now reviewing all of the amazing feedback we received to help us develop our new Youth Strategy 2026-2030.

Once we have a draft Strategy ready, it will go on Public Exhibition for further community feedback to make sure we got it right. Follow this page to be notified.

Go in the draw to win!

Young people aged 12-24 who complete the survey will go in the draw to win one of two Beats Solo 4 headphones!

Spill the tea!

Pick a category (or multiple!) and share your thoughts and ideas.

I hope to see more 24 hour study spaces for students on the Coast, especially for those who don’t live near Gosford !

The central coast has amazing family friendly climbing areas across the LGA. This includes roped climbing and bouldering.
