The Central Coast

Central Coast Agriculture

Central Coast agriculture extends through the hinterland and rural valleys, with production ranging from wholesale nursery plants and seasonal flowers to beef cattle. The region is also supported by practical enterprises supplying irrigation equipment, machinery, livestock services and rural infrastructure. Together, these producers and specialist businesses form a useful local network for commercial growers, smallholders, landscapers, livestock owners and other primary producers.
