Regional Infrastructure Investment

The Central Coast region is expected to grow by more than 50,000 people, to 404,250 people by 2041.

This substantial growth will require significant enabling infrastructure investment and the creation of over 30,000 new local jobs.

To respond to this demand, RDACC coordinated the development of an agreed list of priority infrastructure projects needed to create local jobs, drive further investment and assist in unlocking the full economic potential of our region.

Since the launch of the initial [Central Coast Critical Infrastructure Priority List] in 2016, this initiative has attracted over $2.5B in essential infrastructure funding for the Central Coast through collaborative advocacy efforts from all regional stakeholders.

Following on from this, Central Coast Council’s Key Enabling Projects Prospectus was endorsed in November 2022, detailing 12 projects of significance currently identified as infrastructure funding priorities for the Central Coast.

The projects contained in the Prospectus lay a strong foundation for further growth and investment that will directly assist in generating the required jobs and driving further investment within our region.
