Strong economic and population growth
Coffs Harbour already offers sustainable economic and growth infrastructure, however projects in the works will see the town move from a beach destination to a thriving centre. Upgrades are underway to the Coffs Harbour Hospital, to increase medical services throughout the region. The Coffs Coast Regional Sports Hub joins the Jetty 4Shores project in enhancing recreational spaces. Funding for the arts is supporting local creative endeavours and tourism is ever-increasing.
