NSW Transport and InfrastructureProfile of OMBSCs 6 and 7: Central Coast RegionOctober 20091. IntroductionThis Profile is provided by NSW Transport & Infrastructure to support the planning and review of anintegrated bus network in Outer Metropolitan Bus System Contract (OMBSC) Regions 6 and 7(Central Coast).As an informed process of consultation between stakeholders, bus operators and NSW Transport &Infrastructure is a vital element of planning and reviewing an integrated bus network, this Profile providesstakeholders with relevant information about the people, facilities, services and travel patterns within theCentral Coast region.While the information in this Profile is the best available at the time of publication, sources are notnecessarily consistent. Readers are therefore advised to refer to original data when assessing any possiblelimitations to the information contained in this Profile.Sources for the information provided in this Profile are listed in Appendix 7.2. About Bus ReformBus Reform is about providing an efficient,statewide bus network that is integrated withother modes of transport, sets a standard levelof services and fares, and continues to meet thechanging needs of the community.The 2003 Unsworth Review of Bus Servicesshowed New South Wales did not have aneffective bus network. Most bus routes werebased on original school services and planningbus networks was the sole responsibility of busoperators. Any bus operating contracts that didexist were ‘perpetual’ and had few performancerequirements.In response to the findings of the UnsworthReview, the NSW Government launched BusReform in January 2005 – immediately reducingthe number of bus operating regions in NewSouth Wales from 87 to 27 and, after a tenderingprocess, appointing one bus operator – or aconsortium of operators – to operate bus servicesin each new contract region.As a result, there are now 15 contract regions inmetropolitan Sydney, 10 in outer metropolitanSydney, and two in rural and regional New SouthWales. The boundaries of the new contractregions in New South Wales are defined foradministrative purposes and, where possible,follow the boundaries of Local GovernmentAreas (LGAs) and significant geographic features.Sometimes the boundaries cut across LGAs andother community areas, as well as through somepeople’s travel patterns.Bus operators appointed to each region haveentered a seven-year contract with NSW Transport& Infrastructure, giving the government morecontrol than it has ever had before over passengerbus transport services in the state.Bus services in OMBSC 6 (Gosford, Wyong andCentral Coast hinterland) are provided by BuswaysCentral Coast Pty Ltd and in OMBSC 7 (Entranceto North Gosford) by The Entrance Red Bus ServicePty Ltd.5

SEIFA includes variables suchas the relative proportion of families with high incomes, people with a tertiary education, andemployees in skilled occupations.The SEIFA average is set at 1,000. Lower values are ‘disadvantaged’ and higher values are‘advantaged’. The SEIFA index scores for the two LGAs in the study area (2006) show that GosfordLGA (1013) it is relatively advantaged. The SEIFA for Wyong LGA (955) shows that it is relativelydisadvantaged.People receiving aged and disability pensionsMore than 56,800 people living in the Gosford/Wyong LGAs received pensions in 2008,approximately 19% of the combined population of the LGAs. This is higher than the percentageof people receiving pensions in Outer Metropolitan LGAs combined (17.45%). In the Gosford/Wyong LGAs, 75.9% of persons received an aged pension and 23.5% received a disability supportpension. The remaining 0.6% received a mixture of wife disability support pensions and wifeaged pensions.0.83% of persons in the Gosford/Wyong LGAs were receiving a Carer Payment in 2008.18
