Peninsula excluded from facade improvement pilot
The Peninsula is being excluded from a council program aimed at encouraging commercial property owners to enhance their building facades.
The Facade Improvement Support Program will be piloted in four towns and none are on the Peninsula: Wyong, Gosford, The Entrance and Toukley.
Central Coast Council will provide a total of $120,000 to eligible businesses and commercial property owners to enhance their building facades and improve accessibility to their premises with dollar-for-dollar matched funding.
Applications will open tomorrow, November 1, and close on November 30.
"This funding will support the enhancement of facades, and improve access, aesthetics, and overall visitor experience," said council director Ms Melanie Smith.
"The dollar-for-dollar matched funding will be provided for the cost of works, labour and materials to a maximum value of $5000 per property.
"This is a pilot program and if it is successful may be able to be rolled out to other town centres across the Coast in the future."
