The nearest Tesla supercharge stations are located at Motto Farm Motel near Heatherbrae and Cassegrain Winery on the Pacific Highway near Port Macquarie.

Council's director of infrastructure and engineering services, Robert Scott says in a report, council was recently approached by Tesla regarding the possible installation of a Tesla Supercharger electric vehicle recharge station in the MidCoast Council area.

The report recommends the proposed station be located in "Wynter Street, Taree or the art gallery in Macquarie Street, Taree, subject to feasibility assessment completed by Tesla."

"The Tesla Supercharger system is used exclusively for Tesla vehicles," the report says. "In July 2021, a statement from Tesla's Elon Musk advised that the unique charging system will be opened to other electric vehicles later this year. It is unknown which markets would be first, but assurance was given that the system would open to all countries over time."

MidCoast Council's ordinary meeting will go ahead on Wednesday (Auguist 25), with special provisions for councillors to attend remotely given the current COVID-19 restrictions in NSW.

Members of the public will be able to view the meeting from 2pm via livestream through a weblink accessible on council's website on Wednesday morning.

Community members cannot attend in person, due to the current Public Health Order.

The meeting will consider an update on the restoration action plan for the Bight Cemetery.

Councillors will also review progress reports on the Barrington Coast Destination Management Program, the Disability Inclusion Action Plan and the 2030 Waste Management Strategy.

A draft Disaster Recovery Grant Policy is also being considered for adoption at the meeting.
