Central Coast Council has developed a draft masterplan for the Woy Woy Waterfront using the feedback collected during the 2019 Let’s Talk Woy Woy campaign.

The Masterplan provides an overall vision for the open space along the waterfront and provides a conceptual layout to guide future growth and development.

The draft Woy Woy Waterfront Masterplan includes consultation on the future development of the Pelican Park site. The site is currently home to the Pelican Park Playspace. Council understands this playspace is highly valued by the community and as part of the master planning process and sought to better understand these values so they can be reflected in the long-term plan for Woy Woy Waterfront.

Each year Council plans a capital works program for roads, drainage and shared pathways across the Central Coast. This includes hundreds of projects including full road reconstructions, road pavement works, kerb and gutter, footpaths and shared pathways, bus stop improvements, bridge works and drainage installations. Plus we also carry out routine maintenance road works every day.

Council has a number of projects in and around Woy Woy that are either recently completed, underway or planned, these include:

• Woy Woy Town Centre Wharf upgrade – completed – click here to find out more!
  
• Rawson Road and Ocean Beach Road intersection upgrade – underway - find out more here!
  
• Woy Woy Bay Wharf replacement – completed
  Woy Woy Bay Wharf replacement was completed in December 2021. The existing wharf piles, decking, and platform were all replaced as part of the project, along with foreshore retaining structures and seating.
  The local community celebrated the new infrastructure with a gathering and some light refreshments in January this year.
  
• Everglades catchment drainage upgrade - underway
  This project involves a trunk drainage upgrade between the Everglades main drain to Carpenter Street and Glenn Street, and Glenn Street to Connex Road and Connex Road to Lovell Road and includes the installation of new inlet pits and rehabilitation of existing drainage lines. Minor road works will be included to improve the road surface in the project footprint.
  Construction on this project began in April 2022 with works still ongoing. The project remains on track for completion by the 30 June 2022.
  This project is one of 29 projects to be delivered by Council through $86.5million Central Coast Roads Package, which is 100 percent funded by the Australian Government under the Urban Congestion Fund.

Woy Woy is a much-loved hub for our region. As one of the Central Coast’s principal town centres a number of projects to improve the vibrancy, safety and accessibility have been delivered. These projects include:

• Installation of new bike racks on the corner of The Boulevarde and Brisbane Water Drive to promote active living, enhance public domain and encourage local eateries to visit local businesses
• Footpath rectification works in multiple locations across Woy Woy to eliminate trip hazards and improve community safety
• Placement of a community art installation in the Woy Woy town centre over summer 2020-21 as part of the Big Chair Community Art Project

Each year Council plans capital works for our water and sewer infrastructure. This includes replacement of pipelines, upgrading sewer pump stations and treatment plants, refurbishment of water reservoirs and other improvement works. Additionally, we also carry out emergency works to address any water service interruptions.

The Peninsula has a greater risk of low circulating water due to the large number of dead-end networks and Council has been working to improve water supply through its extensive water mains maintenance program.

In addition to regular maintenance, cleaning and flushing programs, part of this program saw a number of dead-ends in the water supply network on the Peninsula extended to connect into the main network.

Council extended 11 sections of dead-ends and is working to soon eliminate other remaining dead-ends to ensure continued high-quality water to the community.
Works were done in Woy Woy, Umina Beach and Ettalong.
