WARATAH STREET GETS ITS WIN
MEMBER for The Entrance, David Mehan, has welcomed the completion of drainage and resurfacing works along Waratah Street, Bateau Bay marking a significant win for the local community.
Mr Mehan previously called on Central Coast Council to keep its promise to Bateau Bay residents and fix Waratah Street after reneging on its undertaking to rebuild the street in 2023/24. This followed on from a community led petition championed by local resident, Ms Fay Semple.
Council’s commitment to the community has now been fulfilled and the safety concerns initially raised affecting local students, families and residents have now disappeared.
Member for The Entrance David Mehan said: “Waratah Street was not just a street in a bad condition, it was a real safety concern for families and young children attending Bateau Bay Public School.
“The local community had a strong voice throughout this process, and I am glad this has finally been achieve."

UPGFRADE TO TUGGERAH STATION CONTINUES
TUGGERAH railway station’s accessibility upgrade has marked a significant milestone with newly installed lifts now open to the public.
The lifts are part of $547.5M 2024-2025 NSW Budget funding over four years to continue to deliver and develop station accessibility upgrade projects around the state, in turn a part of the $800M Safe Accessible Transport program.
The opening of the lifts, which will provide access to the new footbridge and concourse, will allow for the demolition of the old ramps and pedestrian footbridge.
The lifts are a key milestone in the ongoing $40M Tuggerah Station upgrade due for completion in mid-2025.
The upgrade will also feature: new and extended canopies at station platform, a family accessible toilet and ambulant toilets, upgraded station entrances, including new and improved footpaths, new public restrooms, revamped station manager’s offices and station entrances, 15 accessible parking spaces in the commuter car park, upgraded bus stops and facility for private to pick up and drop off passengers easily with a dedicated drop off zone and improvements to CCTV, lighting and wayfinding signage
Transport for NSW will continue to keep the community informed as the project progresses.
MP for The Entrance David Mehan said: “This is a major win for Central Coast commuters because once complete, the upgrade will enhance connectivity between the station and the Tuggerah Precinct and improve the public domain. Rail travelers will enjoy a train station that is safe, inclusive and easy to use for all passengers – especially people with disability, older people, people with prams or luggage and others who might be experiencing mobility problems.”
