CENTRAL COAST
REGIONAL SNAPSHOT
2016
Journey to Work
Journey to Work (residents) data from the 2011 census indicates
that 30,339 or 23.2% of Central Coast NSW’s working residents
travel outside of the area to work.
This is in line with the Department of Transport estimates of 25
per cent of residents travel outside of the region for employment.
Approximately 20 per cent of the region’s workforce travels to
Sydney, and 5 per cent to the Hunter region (NSW Department of
Transport, Dec 2013). Whilst the overall percentage is down from
35 per cent in 2000 this is still a significant issue for the region.
