The Morrison Government has a plan for the Peninsula.
We plan to upgrade local roads through our $126.5 million Central Coast Roads Package. This includes upgrading the Rawson Road and Ocean Beach Road roundabout, which is a $36.5 million project.
Construction on the improvements to the Everglades Catchment Drainage have started. A re-elected Morrison Government will also upgrade Rabaul Ave and Haynes Ave in Umina Beach, Broken Bay Rd and Schnapper Rd in Ettalong and Booker Bay Rd in Booker Bay.
We're delivering more commuter car parking at Woy Woy station, with construction starting at the end of the year.
Support for families and young people is important on the Peninsula. A re-elected Morrison Government will deliver $1.4 million for a Peninsula Youth Hub to work with at-risk youth.
We are also upgrading the Umina Beach CWA Hall to become a refuge centre in case of natural disasters.
People on the Peninsula care about local sport. Our sports investment for the Peninsula is over $11 million.
The cost of living is a huge issue for locals. That's why we're delivering a $250 payment for almost 21,000 pensioners across the Central Coast.
Low- and middle-income earners will receive about $1500 in tax relief and we've cut fuel tax in half.
The Peninsula is one of the best places in Australia to work, live and raise a family. People on the Peninsula want to work close to home. A Morrison Government is delivering record low unemployment and will continue to create jobs.
