The 2017 Central Coast Council election was held on 9 September 2017 to elect 15 councillors to Central Coast Council. The election was held as part of the statewide local government elections in New South Wales, Australia.[1]
This was the first election for the council after it was formed in 2016 from a merger of the City of Gosford and Wyong Shire.
The Labor Party won the most seats out of any party, winning six out of 15.[2]
Central Coast Council covers the entire Central Coast region, which has a population of 327,736 as of 2021. This makes it the third-most-populated LGA in New South Wales, behind only Blacktown and Canterbury-Bankstown.[3]
The council was formed on 12 May 2016 as a "super council" after the state government merged the City of Gosford and Wyong Shire.[4] It is composed of five wards, each electing three councillors, totalling 15 councillors for the entire LGA.
