If you’re staying close to home or visiting the NSW Central Coast this Summer, this is your go-to guide for Summer 2020-2021.
We have important contact numbers for you (scroll down the bottom!), we have some ideas of places to go, things to do and finally (and most importantly!) suggestions of events to keep everyone happy and safe these holidays.
A message from Adam Crouch MP
The past 12 months have been incredibly challenging for our community – we’ve been faced with the “triple whammy” of bushfires over summer, flooding in February and COVID-19 for the past nine months. We’re all in this together and everyone on the Central Coast has done such a fantastic job keeping themselves and others safe and healthy.
With more tourists visiting our community and supporting local businesses this summer, please remember to be COVID-safe.
Christmas time is quickly approaching, and my wife Jill and I would like to wish you a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. If you are driving on NSW roads to visit family and friends this summer season, please stay safe and remember to Stop Revive Survive.
