Thank you Central Coast Council for resurfacing the final section of the pathway adjacent to Ocean Beach Surf Club. This sees a smooth and safe path for pedestrians, prams, children on bikes and dog walkers from Ettalong to the surf club.

This is a great opportunity for members of the public and ocean users to learn life-saving skills in a free course. There will also be a free accredited CPR course taking place at Umina Surf Life Saving Club. Register here: https://www.surfersrescue247.com/courses

We are thrilled that Central Coast Council has allocated funding to replace the toilet block at Umina Beach in 2027. It will greatly benefit many of our community with disability needs and especially Central Coast Disabled Surfers Association

Update: Umina Amenities Block
At Tuesday nights Council meeting, a motion to allocate $650K from Strategic Funds for the reconstruction of the amenities block with design development, approvals in 2026/27 for completion in 2027/28 put forward by Councillor Belinda Neal and seconded by Councillor Trent McWaide. The motion was finally passed after months of motions failing. Thank you to Councillor Neal for not giving up. Councillor McWaide for coming on board and delivering a great speech. To Umina Community Group for your strong advocacy and advice. A win for disability access on the Peninsula. Photo. Councillor Neal with UCG members Tony, Peter, Carol & Sean.
