Winter 2018 Edition Letter from the Editor Hi Fellow Coasties! Sponsors What a cold start to the winter months, isn’t it getting harder to get out of bed in the mornings? Whether you are running your own business or working for somebody else, finding a work-life balance is important. A lot of us struggle to find a happy medium for our work-life balance, particularly now, more than ever, as a two person income is required for the standard family. Finding the balance to fit in time for work, your family, your friends and yourself is harder than ever, please see our feature in this edition with more information and tips on how to achieve this balance. The newly released 2018 budget is offering tax relief to encourage and reward the working Australia. We have asked our Labor Federal representative Emma McBride and our Liberal Federal representative Lucy Wicks for their views on how it will affect the community and infrastructure on the Central Coast. See pages 7 and 18 for their views. The State Government is provide $52 million in funding for the Gosford City Centre’s infrastructure and public space as announced by the Minister for Planning and Housing. Council are planning to hold workshops to gauge community views in relation to the funding plans. See page 19 for more information. The Central Coast Council has been through a rough few years, with the amalgamation and then acting CEO appointed, and finally now, Central Coast Council have appointed the new Chief Executive Officer, Mr Gary Murphy, who will commence his five year contract on the 2nd July 2018. Given the bad publicity our Central Coast Council has had recently let’s hope that with the guidance of Mr Murphy this is able to be turned around.
