Talk:Central Coast (New South Wales)

Project

I'm interested in creating a Central Coast, New South Wales Wiki Collaboration Project. Nothing too demanding mind you. I propose to start with the usual information; place names, history, roads, sights and a few fun human interest items perhaps:) We could then advance into special areas of interest.

I'll promote it on my regular ABC Radio 92.5 program and spread the word via email to friends and so on.

Any takers? --davidab 05:18, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Sure. I've been working on Kanwal a bit recently, keeping note of where I find information and creating a bit of an infobox if that is any help to anyone. Cheers. -- darkliight^talk 09:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Back again CC Wikites now after almost 7 years. We really need to get organised now, the region has grown significantly in many ways. Whoever's looking after the stub needs to update the population statistics from the old 2006 cencus to the more recent 2011 census.

If anyone is interested I can organise some meeting space and nibbles on the Ourimbah campus for a discussion on progressing this.davidab (talk) 04:36, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Recognition as a region

I think I remember an article on the news about the Central Coast being recognised as an official region last year. Does anyone have any information on that? It might be worth putting under History. Cheers. -- darkliight^talk 09:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Found it -- darkliight^talk 08:47, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes the area has been recognised as a region for over 6 years by the geographical names board and should therefore be refered to Central Coast NB: Capital letters. Yet government departments and indeed the ABS have been slow in apply this. The ABS in their latest census 2011 now have the Central Coast as a statistical region Level 4. davidab (talk) 04:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Importance

Only mid importance? I thought that a region with a rank in Australia's top 10 most populus regions would rate a little higher. Cheers, --darkliight^[πalk] 13:21, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

*shrugs* Feel free to change it if you feel strongly about it. --Ptcamn 13:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Done. If anyone disagrees though I don't feel that strongly about it, so feel free to change it back. Cheers, --darkliight^[πalk] 14:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Established?

Established 2006? I've lived here for 15 years, and it sure was "established" then... Abbott75 09:40, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

It depends on your definition of established. It was officially established as a region in its own right last year. There have been humans here for thousands of years. Did you have some other date in between these in mind? Cheers, darkliight^[πalk] 09:52, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

People have called it the central coast for years, even people from other states recognised it back then. andrewrox424 ^Bleep 10:00, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Also that small bridge near lisarow public school. Seen workmen building that recently andrewrox424 ^Bleep 10:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Rail

Under the heading "Stations considered part of the Central Coast length of the CityRail network are (from south to north):" Warnervale does not appear. Warnervale is definately on the Central Coast & is just north of Wyong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warnervale_railway_station,_New_South_Wales Is Warnervale Station not recognised as part of the Central Coast length of the CityRail network for some reason? Cheers, Swampy. 58.165.166.167 (talk) 20:51, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Geography

"Other major commercial "centres" on the Coast are Wyong, Tuggerah, Lakehaven, The Entrance, Terrigal, and Woy Woy." Lake Haven is two words & there is a wiki page on "Lake Haven, New South Wales". Could the spelling be corrected and a link to the "Lake Haven, New South Wales" be added? Swampy 121.218.212.10 (talk) 22:38, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Aaaargh! Leading section.

According to Central Coast (disambiguation) and the hatnote at Central Coast Council, this article is meant to be about the region, not the administrative division. Yet the leading/lead/lede/intro section is all about the latter. The effect is jarring. Pelagic (talk) 16:38, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Stand-alone region and local government area

In 2016 the City of Gosford and Wyong Shire areas have merged into one big area covering the whole region which is Central Coast Council, just for a clarification there is only one lga in the Central Coast and is one administrative area, so the City of Gosford and Wyong Shire councils are abolished Wikieditor3707 (talk) 16:34, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
