My Community Funding – Please Vote

Looking for something you can do to help gain additional funding to improve Umina Beach? This will take just 5 minutes of your time, and will make a difference to Umina.

Follow the instructions below on how to vote for our local projects. The State Government MyCommunityProject Funding will go to the project with the most votes. So we need everyone to hop on board and vote for Umina!  Encourage your family, friends and neighbours to vote too.

There are two options for voting –  either at a Service NSW Centre or online. If you are 16 years or older and live in the Gosford Electorate you can vote (an activity for the whole family!). Voting closes August 15th, 2019.

The two UCG projects we’d like you to vote for are:

  • The Mixed Pathway at Umina Beach Surf Club to allow us to extend the Recreational Precinct access for prams, skaters, runners, walkers and bikes. More details here
  • Shade is landing at The Runway Park, for a large shade structure over the play equipment at The Runway park in Trafalgar Avenue. This will greatly extend the time children can safely and comfortably play at this popular local park. More Details here

The first option is to attend a Service NSW centre. Our closest centres are at Deepwater Plaza or Gosford, or any office near your work. The staff there will help you complete the voting. Remember to take your Medicare card with you and the name of our two projects.
