Coffs Harbour Gold Cup Part Day Public Holidays 2022 and 2023

Coffs Harbour City Council (Council) sought community feedback on the local part day public holiday for the annual Coffs Harbour Gold Cup which is held on the first Thursday in August.

To continue having an annual local public holiday, Council must apply to the State Government every two years to have it declared under the Public Holidays Act 2010. As part of this application, Council is required to carry out public consultation to consider the impacts, costs and benefits of declaring a local part day public holiday within the Local Government Area.

At the 14 October 2021 Meeting, Council resolved to apply "for a part day local public holiday (12 noon to 5.30pm) on the first Thursday in August 2022 for the Coffs Harbour Gold Cup". Council's application was approved by the NSW Government and details can be found on the NSW Industrial Relations Website at the following link: https://www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au/public-holidays/local-public-holidays-in-nsw/#local-public-holidays-in-nsw-2022.
