Assessment comments

I'm interested in creating a Central Coast, New South Wales Wiki Collaboration Project. Nothing too demanding mind you. I propose to start with the usual information; place names, history, roads, sights and a few fun human interest items perhaps:) We could then advance into special areas of interest.

I'll promote it on my regular ABC Radio 92.5 program and spread the word via email to friends and so on.

Any takers? --davidab 05:18, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Sure. I've been working on Kanwal a bit recently, keeping note of where I find information and creating a bit of an infobox if that is any help to anyone. Cheers. -- darkliighttalk 09:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recognition as a region

I think I remember an article on the news about the Central Coast being recognised as an official region last year. Does anyone have any information on that? It might be worth putting under History. Cheers. -- darkliighttalk 09:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Found it -- darkliighttalk 08:47, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Importance

Only mid importance? I thought that a region with a rank in Australia's top 10 most populus regions would rate a little higher. Cheers, --darkliight[πalk] 13:21, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

*shrugs* Feel free to change it if you feel strongly about it. --Ptcamn 13:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Done. If anyone disagrees though I don't feel that strongly about it, so feel free to change it back. Cheers, --darkliight[πalk] 14:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LGA is incorrect

Quote "it is administered as two local government areas, Gosford City Council and Wyong Shire Council." This is incorrect as it should read "it is administered as two local government areas, Gosford City and Wyong Shire." Why do people seem to think the LGA is the council, because it isn't, the council is the LGA governing body not the LGA itself. --mmx

[edit] Established?

Established 2006? I've lived here for 15 years, and it sure was "established" then... Abbott75 09:40, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

It depends on your definition of established. It was officially established as a region in its own right last year. There have been humans here for thousands of years. Did you have some other date in between these in mind? Cheers, darkliight[πalk] 09:52, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
People have called it the central coast for years, even people from other states recognised it back then. andrewrox424 Bleep 10:00, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
