Car Park Withdrawn from Sale

Umina Community Group has been working with Central Coast Council to provide feedback on the sale of the Bullion Street Car Park land. The sale of the car park was being completed as part of the Umina Beach Civic Master Plan, aimed towards an expanded Civic Centre.

We are pleased to announce that Central Coast Council has now withdrawn the car park land from sale. There has been considerable feedback to Council that the plan in its current form was flawed and not in the interest of the community. It is pleasing to see two recent plans to sell off public land have been reversed by the Council after listening to community feedback.

We look forward to the Council working with the Umina Beach community to continue to look at policies, strategies and delivery plans to improve and implement the Umina Beach Civic Plan in a way that has strong community support.

You can read more about the options considered the Council here.

 

Stronger Communities Grant for Umina Beach

MP Lucy Wick’s announced this week that Umina Community Group has been awarded a $10,000 grant under the Federal Government’s Stronger Communities Program. Lucy also went on to give a speech in Parliament on the transformation taking place at the park, the community involvement in leading the upgrade and the link to the WWII runway which the park is positioned upon.


Trafalgar Park in Umina is undergoing a transformation, that will reveal a snapshot of the Central Coast’s history, and today I’m pleased to announce the Federal Government’s support for this initiative.

A new voice for Umina Beach

In October 2014 a group of Umina Beach residents decided there was no unified voice for the local community. Umina Beach is a large, modern coastal community with a strong sense of community, many visitors and tourists, and is surrounded by national parks and Ocean and Umina Beach.

The residents have formed a community group to build partnerships and work with local, state and federal government bodies to support and further the wants and needs of the community.
