Central Coast Council’s Let’s Talk Gosford event resonated with the Central Coast community, with over 300 conversations hosted at last week’s drop-in information sessions and public hearing.

Let’s Talk Gosford offered the community an insight into 10 diverse projects planned or already underway by Council in Gosford.

Council’s Director Environment and Planning Alice Howe, said Council thanks the community for taking the time to provide their input and comments to the projects on display, and which are open for consultation.

“It is vital the community feels a sense of ownership in the revitalisation of Gosford, which will have a major impact on the opportunities available for the entire Central Coast,” Dr Howe said.

“Everything that is being planned is aimed at driving economic and social development, through higher order jobs, education, health, tourism and general business opportunities.” 

Council Administrator Rik Hart said Council wants the benefits of a revitalised Gosford to flow on to the entire Central Coast and to ensure the region is a major attractor not only for people who come to live, but also for investment whether it be from government or private enterprise.

“The feedback collected through the Let’s Talk Gosford campaign will be used to inform decision-making to ensure the outcomes for Gosford reflect our community’s values.”

Projects still open for consultation include the draft Central Coast Street Design Manual, Central Coast Local Housing Strategy and the Kibble Park Place Plan.
