Following the amalgamation of the former Wyong Shire and Gosford City Councils, Central Coast Council now covers one of the largest council areas in New South Wales, with a population of around 333,119 people, and a land area of 167,997 hectares. Central Coast Council works hard to meet the needs of both its residents and visitors through the improvement of infrastructure, community facilities, natural open spaces, and much more. As a leading local government authority, Central Coast Council also offers a large range of career opportunities spanning economic development, waste management, environmental planning, engineering, IT, horticulture, childcare, library services, and the arts - just to name a few.
