"Community Precincts have an advisory role for Council. They each cover specific areas of Wyong Shire and are free (for all locals) to join. Local residents, businesses and ratepayers are encouraged to attend their local Precincts and be more involved in local decisions." (Wyong Shire's column entitled "Noticeboard "on p4, Central Coast Advocate, April 6, 2009) Role of WSC Precinct Committees

The purpose and commitment of our Precinct Committee is to act in an advisory role for the Wyong Shire Council, through co- ordinating a local response to issues of concern in the local area. The aim is to achieve this through endeavouring to improve communication and trust between Council and the local community by encouraging involvement of all residents in quality decision making and actions, based on the provision of a freely available flow of information all round. This will also be achieved by encouraging social interaction and participation in activities that will help all participants become aware of how best to go about resolving local issues; and in so doing, finding inspirational ways to celebrate successes - both big and small.
