Welcome to Voices of Central Coast

Many people on the Central Coast are feeling left behind and ignored. They are disheartened with the current political process and the failure of the party system to reflect the values and priorities of the Central Coast community.

They’re tired of writing letters, signing petitions and meeting with elected representatives, only to have their views ignored in favour of party donors, lobbyists, special interest groups, and the party line.

For too long the Central Coast has been linked to political and donation scandals, developer influence and poor representation for our residents and community. It’s time to do politics differently.

We believe that each one of us can play a constructive role in lifting standards of behaviour, focusing on ideas and policies that benefit residents and communities and strengthening the way we are represented.

What's New

On 6 March 2024, over 60 people from across the Central Coast came to hear about "The Future of Local Government on the Central Coast", with expert speakers, Graham Sansom and Glenn Inglis. We were pleased to begin the conversation about the role of Council - and the role of Councillors - as we head to local government elections in September 2024.
