Central Coast Council has welcomed today’s announcement by Federal Member for Robertson Lucy Wicks for $35million for commuter car parking at Gosford and Woy Woy Stations.

Mayor Jane Smith said the significant increase in car parking spaces will go a long way to assist in addressing the commuter and transport needs on the coast.

“Car parking and commuting are critical issues on the Coast and so this recognition and funding by the Federal Government is very welcome news for our community,” Mayor Smith said.

“Council’s own Car Parking Strategy identifies the need for innovative parking solutions to meet the needs of our growing population.

“This funding will allow Council to provide the necessary upgrades needed at both stations and make a significant difference to the lives of our residents who currently commute.”
