Bringing business to life

Organising a business event or conference can be a challenging

exercise; we know you want to impress! The expectations of your

clients, colleagues, guests or staff are high, and you are constantly

seeking value for money. The destination, the venue and the format

are important factors to consider and, at the end of the day, you need

the right mix of these to leave a good impression on your clients and/

or colleagues.

Welcome to the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, located

just one hour north of Sydney and one hour south of Newcastle.

It’s here you’ll find a depth of product and experiences that are all

prepared to work with you to make your next business event one

to remember. The Central Coast has long been a highly popular

destination for client retreats, team building days, conferencing and

business events because it’s accessible, out of the busy cities and,

quite simply, a gorgeous destination bursting with water views and

experiences.

Few regional destinations offer the waterfront lifestyle and natural diversity that can be found here.

At the essence of the Central Coast is a world of beautiful coastlines, golden beaches, alluring lakes and pristine national parks. These treasured natural assets combine to provide a stunning backdrop for any event.

Central Coast Tourism, along with all of our tourism operators,

wish you a warm welcome and look forward to working with you

to earn your business. We are confident that your delegates will be

pleasantly surprised with our destination and what it has to offer.

TestimonialsI would like to thank everyone at Ettalong Beach Club for helping to make our National Conference a great success. At every level of the planning and facilitation process the staff were helpful, friendly and engaging, managing to accommodate all of our requests with warmth and professionalism. I would not hesitate to use the club for future conferences or events be it corporate or recreational. I would highly recommend this venue! - OMD

Thank you Bells at Killcare for your assistance with the organisation of last weeks conference event. The group had a first class experience and were delighted to hear Stefano speak. It was fantastic! I look forward to bringing other groups to your fabulous property. - The Events Dept

We hold a 200 person conference over 4 days and the dedicated Crowne Plaza Terrigal meetings planner have always made this seamless for us. The food is great and the staff are fantastic. Although we have dinner in the ballroom each night, our 4th and final dinner is always a big event. The room is transformed into a beautiful banquet and is always a talking point for the delegates afterwards. - Police Association of NSW

Quay West Resort Magenta Shores was superb, with all the facilities in excellent condition and I think the grounds/gardens are a real credit to your team. All the bar/wait staff were extremely friendly and nothing was too much of a bother - even asking for a takeaway long black at 6.45am in the morning! And finally the food - please pass my compliments to the chefs - the meals were absolutely outstanding!!! All up a great stay at your facilities and I wouldn’t hesitate to return for a future

visit. - Coca-Cola Amatil

Westpac’s local Business Banking Centre recently hosted an economic breakfast at Mingara Recreation Club. The event was a great success and this is due in no small part to not only the venue and quality breakfast menu but the Events team was fast, professional and made my job as organiser/speaker a breeze. We highly recommend the team and have already made

plans for our next function at the venue. - Westpac Bank

Ultimately, our goal is to make your job of planning and/or booking a conference, meeting or event on

the Central Coast a breeze.

No matter your mode of transport, our warm coastal hospitality will be waiting to greet your delegates.

Green with Envy...The Central Coast and its community are conscious and committed to

preserving its natural beauty and resources. The region’s environmental

initiatives are championed by the two local government bodies, Gosford

City and Wyong Shire Councils. A range of policies and programmes

are implemented throughout the region that focus on the five key

environmental themes: atmosphere, land, water, biodiversity and towards

sustainability.

Green Open Space Audit 28% of the Central Coast region is officially dedicated to the

environment and natural open spaces.

Our crystal clean beaches and shoreline stretch over 85km.

With a vast amount of wide open spaces, it is almost impossible not to

immerse yourself in our natural environment. Enjoy it but assist us in

protecting it for your enjoyment on your return visit.

Sustainable Dining Historically, the Central Coast has been a fertile farming region with

the waterways providing a bounty of lush edible treats. Here on the

Central Coast, many venues consciously choose to serve locally

grown, raised and/or caught produce providing the freshest seasonal

ingredients.

A few of our venues extend their sustainable dining mission through

harvesting their own organic fruit and vegetables, and housing their

own chickens providing free range eggs. These intentional acts

provide guests a win-win scenario as their tastebuds are tantalised

while their carbon footprint is reduced and they are supporting local

suppliers and economy - a fully integrated environmentally friendly

experience.

Environmentally Conscious Venues Local venues prescribe to a range of green practices through energy

efficiency, water conservation, and recycling of waste.

Environmentally purpose built venues take full advantage of a

northerly aspect providing natural light and heating.

Energy efficient lighting is used by almost all venues.

A number of venues have installed solar panels producing their own

renewable energy to heat pools, spas and water.

All venues are conscious of their water consumption and install water

saving devices. Most collect their own rainwater and, where

accessible, venues use bore water to maintain their grounds.

All our venues actively reduce, re-use and recycle wastes and

encourage guests to do the same.

Staff incorporate daily behaviours that reduce our impact on the environment through:

Tip... To reduce your carbon footprint consider group transportation options.

Actively select suppliers who conform to practices that reduce carbon emissions

Reducing, reusing and recycling office waste

Adopting a water conservation attitude

Embracing energy efficient actions

Activities for total immersion

Water Nature, Wildlife & Adventure

Fishing The Coast has long been a popular location for

fishing, with plenty of estuaries, lakes and of

course the Pacific Ocean offering a variety of

experiences. For a leisure break, take to a jetty

or beach with a rod, or for a true team building

experience, book a charter with one of our

many providers.

Sail or Cruise Away

With such an extensive coast line, it is hard

not to include a nautical experience for your

delegates. Ferry services operate to and

around the region. Plan for one of the schedule

services or enquire about charter options.

Yachting options are also available.

Diving The Central Coast is the home of the first artificial reef reserve in NSW’s.

Scuttled in 2011, the former warship, HMAS Adelaide, is burgeoning

with sea-life, highly recommended pre/post activity option for delegates

who are certified divers. Need certification, groups can embark on an

introduction to scuba diving lesson/course.

Animal Encounters Stretch teams with an animal Fear Factor

experience where teams participate in a number of

wild challenges with animals, reptiles and insects.

Group excursions can be tailored to suit the

conference objectives along with VIP Behind the Scene

Tours at the our local wildlife sanctuary

National Parks Stretch your delegate’s legs and clear their minds

with a walk in the fresh air. Walks in the National

Parks or Reverses range from easy to difficult with

efforts rewarded by stunning landscapes and views.

Guided tours can be arranged with the National

Parks and Wildlife Service to gain maximum benefit.

Adventure Whether it’s on ground level or thousands of feet

above, it’s time to challenge your delegates to push

their boundaries... or select a specific adventure to

strengthen their team focus.

On the ground, choose from abseiling, flying fox and

treetop walks, horse riding, quad biking, river kayaking and even more

soft adventure activities like mini golf and barefoot bowls.

In the air, take control of a microlight craft, charter a helicopter ride for

some breathtaking scenery – or plummet to the ground from 14,000ft

with a tandem skydive!
