As a certified ECO Destination since 2022, the NSW Central Coast community and its visitors can continue to do all that's possible to protect not only the natural landscapes of the region, but all the amazing creatures living among us. Simply check out the Central Coast Sustainability Pledge where "we encourage our community and our guests to tread lightly and go slow on the NSW Central Coast."  You can live and breathe this during your summer on our shores, sharing it with these special little birds.
