Only routine maintenance works will be undertaken at the airport, in Warnervale, in the interim.
Council further requested the Department of Planning be invited to provide a briefing to councillors on options for the airport.
Councillors will also be provided with a briefing on the proposed strategic development of the Wyong Economic Zone prior to the November 27 meeting.
The council also requested the chief executive officer make available to the public, including on council's website, all information concerning the WEZ that can be made available. If documents are unable to be provided then the reasons for doing so be reported to the council.
Council further requested the proactive release of documents be completed prior to the final meeting of the Council on December 18.
Mayor Jane Smith said there was genuine community interest in ensuring the future development of the site meets the needs of the Central Coast now and in the future.
“The community are seeing works going on at the airport without understanding what the full plans are,” Cr Smith said.
“In the interests of openness and transparency I believe we need to understand where the plans are up to so we can make realistic and lasting decisions about the future of the site.
“Everyone wants to see the WEZ deliver real and lasting benefit to the community but they must be realistic and achievable.”
