Waterfront Precinct
After receiving wide ranging feedback from the community and other groups, the CCRDC has lodged a new Waterfront Precinct SSS. To better facilitate consultation with a range of stakeholders the CCRDC has adopted a stage approach to the Waterfront Precinct.

The first stage will involve the redevelopment of the Gosford Public School site, which was recommended for reuse over a decade ago by the NSW Department of Education and Communities.

Based on input from a variety of groups, the SSS stipulates a number of development restrictions such as building height a floor surface ratio. 

The Gosford Waterfront Precinct

The Gosford Waterfront Precinct is the first strategy of ‘Our City, Our Destiny’ to be implemented. A key objective of ‘Our City, Our Destiny Masterplan’ is to link Gosford to its waterfront, an objective achieved by this project. But more than that, it is designed as a catalyst project. By focusing first on the waterfront precinct, Gosford capitalises on its natural assets and emphasises the need for the city centre to reconnect with its waterfront. This connection and managed development is expected to restore confidence in Gosford as an investment proposition.

Gosford City Masterplan

This project was implemented with the instigation of the Gosford Challenge in 2008, a partnership between Gosford City Council and the community, which articulated the need and desire for Gosford to be recognised as the regional city of the Central Coast. The Challenge’s community engagement process resulted in the production of the Our City Our Destiny Masterplan, which established the objectives which would guide the revitalisation of Gosford.
