Central Coast Council’s Water and Sewer team are working with our contractors to complete an extensive works program to make sure water and sewer infrastructure in the Gosford CBD can keep pace with growth over the next 30 years.

The project will provide a reliable water service to the Gosford CBD to meet the demands of new developments and deliver the vision of Gosford as the capital of the Central Coast. This includes meeting the needs of an increased level of high-rise residential dwellings, the ongoing redevelopment of Gosford Hospital and other developments planned for the Gosford CBD area.

The work includes 43 water main projects and 23 sewer upgrades and proudly funded by the NSW Government through the Housing Acceleration Fund (HAF). Council has received $42.5million in funding through the HAF to deliver these water and sewer infrastructure upgrades which will be competed in late 2025.

There will be changes to traffic and temporary road closures throughout the works, visit our road closures page for the latest information.

However, we advise all community members to exercise extra caution when in the vicinity of active construction areas. Council remains committed to closely monitoring and managing these works to minimise any potential disruptions and impacts.
