Life's on the beach

when you work for the Council

When you work for Central Coast Council you enjoy a perk that the private work sector might find hard to fathom - another day to picnic at the beach or wherever your heart so desires. But it certainly isn't sitting behind a desk or repairing the abundant potholes waiting to destroy motor vehicle wheel rims and tyres.
