If the sale of 8 and 10 Bay Village Road, Bateau Bay was to proceed, one of the conditions of sale would be that a new library facility be provided for the community.

The library would continue to be managed and operated by Central Coast Council.

None of the Tranche 3 properties are being replaced with sporting facilities.

No further consultation is required for operational land that does not require reclassification or rezoning – these parcels of land can be seen as the blue pins on the interactive map. However, you will have another chance to have your say on the parcels of land coded with yellow, green or purple pins.

Council is preparing to lodge a Planning Proposal to reclassify certain parcels of land from community to operational and to rezone certain lands. This land is owned Central Coast Council.

The process for a Planning Proposal will take approximately 12-18 months to complete. As part of the process, Council will be required to undertake formal public consultation. For the reclassification process, Council is also required to undertake a public hearing which will be convened by an independent facilitator. The outcomes of the public hearing will be required to be reported back to Council. Ultimately, the NSW Department of Planning, Industry, and Environment will decide the outcome of any planning proposal submitted by Council.

The proposed sale of part of 336-350 Terrigal Drive, Terrigal is only in relation to the basketball courts.

The properties surrounding the basketball courts have not been identified for the Tranche 3 Asset Sales Program.

If the sale of the Umina Mall Car Park (11, 5, 7, 9, 11 Bullion Street Umina and 4A, 4B, 6, 8, 10 Alfred Street Umina (10 x lots in total)) was to proceed, strict sale conditions would be applied.

The conditions of sale would ensure that there is no loss of parking and that rear lane access for West Street businesses is maintained.

The decision to rezone and reclassify the bowling club land is not a consequence of Council's financial situation.

This decision stems from the endorsed Central Coast Stadium Strategy which outlines that a Masterplan for the site be delivered by December 2021, including opportunities for future complementary uses at the Stadium and surrounding land. Changes to the bowling club's current legal tenure is not being considered.

The proceeds of any asset sales that were originally purchased using restricted funds will be returned to restricted funds.

An assessment of parking within town centres was carried out as part of the now adopted Central Coast Parking Strategy – this has been taken into consideration when identifying potential properties for inclusion in the asset sales program.

If the sale of 219B, 219c & 219 Albany Street North Gosford was to proceed, as part of the conditions of sale, the entity who develop the properties must demonstrate that the existing tenants (which includes the youth refuge) are included in any planning for the site.

There are no land parcels identified in the Tranche 3 Asset Sales Program on St Huberts Island.

Current valuations specific to each parcel of land are commercial in confidence, however the Tranche 3 properties have been identified as they are likely to attract interest and a positive financial return for Council. While it is hard to estimate a final sales price on the complete tranche at this time, Council will only be selling for market value and with that expectation it is expected to improve Council’s financial position by at least $50M.

Council has engaged with independent property development experts Michael Filo and Steve Rowe to execute the functions of the independent Property Advisory Committee. Their function is to provide an independent panel to review the asset sales program prior to going to Council, review and advise on conditional sales for commercial and industrial sales and to review opportunities and advise Council on potential highest and best use analysis to ensure Council is receiving value for the sale. They have also ensured that adequate probity measures around any direct sale are considered in evaluating the terms of the sale.

Properties are either being sold through a competitive sales and marketing campaign to ensure the best sale price or, in the case of direct sales with a proposed buyer, properties are sold for no less than the market value, which will determined by an independent valuer.

No, this information is commercial in confidence and Council is unable to disclose this information.

Council’s Code of Conduct and Land Transaction Policy are in place to ensure that all interests are protected throughout this process.

Council’s sales process will adhere to all of the relevant state and federal legislation, including the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB).

Any development or redevelopment on any of the land parcels will require a development application (DA).
A DA is a formal request for consent to execute proposed development. This could include change of use of land, subdividing land, carrying out work on a building, and landscaping amongst other things.
The approval of any DA is subject to a range of criteria including provision of parking and traffic management.
For some of the properties, conditions of sale have been included and therefore approval would be subject to the conditions of sale being met.

Sadly the community centre reached its end of use in early 2020 given the level of termite damage causing the building to be structurally unsafe and beyond repair. Prior to discontinuing the pubic use of the building, the building was vastly underused, receiving only 11% of bookings against the available hours. In our current financial situation, it is important that our resources are prioritised against community facilities which are well used and deliver the most impact to the community.
It is important to note that should Council decide to proceed to dispose this site, Council would be required to reclassify this asset to operational land prior to any sale being made. This requires demonstration to the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment that this sale would not significantly reduce open space areas within the region. During this process a public hearing is arranged where the public can have a further say on the reclassification of the land.

The Terrigal Bowling Club is not included in the Tranche 3 Asset Sales Program.

What is meant by the term "underutilised" in this instance, is that the zoning of the land allows for a higher and better use of the land rather than just car parking alone. In this example, the land is zoned B2 (Local Centre) which could be developed for a commercial use incorporating parking.

Central Coast Council has developed a Draft Council Affordable Housing Land (CAHL) Proposal which is currently on Exhibition.
This proposal has been drafted as a framework for identifying Council land sites for affordable housing developments.

Tranche 3 of the Asset Sales Program includes a range of sites, some of which are being considered for rezoning to allow further development.

The Umina Tennis Courts are not included in the Tranche 3 Asset Sales Program.

The Ingenia Community Village is currently zoned RE1 "Public Recreation", if the land is to be held by a private entity (and be included in the Tranche 3 Asset Sales Program), the site needs to be rezoned. The zone would need to be determined as one which is most appropriate for the proposed use of the site in private ownership.

This is because the Tranche 2 sites had previously been resolved to sell by the former Wyong Council, however through historical searching it has been determined that this site requires reclassification as there may be a public trust over the land. As such, a further resolution has been sought to ensure proper governance has occurred to sell this site.

Land across the region has come into Council ownership through a variety of ways, the Local Government Act 1993 allows Council to sell land under certain circumstances.
Council only intends on selling part of the land which is currently leased to the Mingara Club. The sports fields and band hall will be retained and kept in Council ownership. Further, the Mingara Club will be able secure ongoing tenure through purchasing the site and this will allow them to access funding to improve the facilities.

Feedback received during the consultation period will be reviewed and a report based on this feedback along with recommendations on next steps will be reported to Council.
To date, Council has met with many community groups to understand their concerns and to work with them on solutions to issues that have been raised.

While Council has no intention of charging for parking at this location, it would be impossible to guarantee this would continue in perpetuity. This is because demand for parking would need to be regulated to ensure that parking is managed during peak tourist seasons for the whole community.

All developments are required to be approved pursuant to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and associated legislation.

Temporary parking at an alternate location would be required for the duration of any disturbance to the carpark.
