UDIA values the constructive relationship with Central Coast Council (Council) and our members on policies that impact the development sector. We are pleased that Council is undertaking this review to provide more clarity around the WIKA process.
Our members have reported recent delays in processing WIKAs at Council which have constrained their ability to deliver development land in a timely way as well as exposed them to significant financial risk. Such circumstances create a disincentive to invest on the Central Coast so UDIA commends Council for reviewing its policies at this time.
