Speaker Laurie Obrien & John Daven
The Central Coast has been been through some changes.
Laurie Obrien joined us this week to talk about the state of business on the Central Coast, with 40 years of experience in the finance industry as a local on the Central Coast he has always been exposed to business ups and downs. The key take away from Laurie's talk are the changes in population. With our current population sitting at 346k, the forecast to 2036 is taking is up 15% to 415k. In Gosford CBD and local surrounds there is no new land, so that means Medium to High Density is coming to gosford. We can see it now with 5k new apartments in the pipeline.
These extra people will be the lifeblood of the CBD, supporting not only business but giving confidence to entrepreneurs to invest in a vibrant night life with restaurants and entertainment.
John Daven from the Central Coast Prostate Cancer Support Group
This week we also had the pleasure of handing over a cheque to John Daven. These funds were raised by our Spring Drive Held on the 11th Sept. Thanks to Mark Cleary and his support team for championing this project.
These funds will be used to benefit members of the Prostate Cancer Support Group on the Central Coast, The group was formed as a result of Men and their families having no where to turn to talk about what to do next after a diagnoses. Now Men with Prostate Cancer and their families can turn to a group that can support them with connections to services and simply bring positive fellowship with people going through a similar experience. John has been living with Prostate Cancer for over 16 years. We thank John for his Service.
