After twelve years in the wilderness the Central Coast could be coming in from the cold following the March 2023 State Election.
From the time they were elected the Liberal government identified with Western Sydney and they threw billions at it. But on election night it proved to be fruitless.

Yes, well in many cases it really has been.
In April the Central Coast became part of a Six Cities Mega region, taking in all the three Sydney regions plus Wollongong
