As part of our commitment towards delivering quality water and sewer infrastructure, Central Coast Council Water and Sewer have been working with contractors to complete an extensive works program to ensure Gosford GBD can keep pace with growth over the next 30 years. 

Works to upgrade the sewer pumping station on Showground Road and the installation of a non-return valve on Mulkarra Ave in Gosford are now completed as well as the construction of a Water Pressure Reduction Valve at Gosford Golf Course which services Gosford Hospital. 

Director for Water and Sewer Jamie Loader said Council’s ambitious program of works is on track with 60 water and sewer projects on track for completion by the end of 2024. 

“The next round of works due to commence include the construction of a new sewer rising main that will connect to a new sewer pump station located on the Gosford waterfront. These works will run through Gosford Waterfront, Dane Drive, Gertrude Street, Fredrick Street and Henry Parry Drive in the Gosford and Point Frederick areas. 

“In addition to these works, Council crews will be working with contractors to deliver upgrades to the sewer system along Gosford Waterfront, including increasing the size of the sewer pipework and building a new pumping station,” Mr Loader said. 

Detailed designs are nearing completion with the contract of works awarded to Rivers Constructions and Eire Constructions.

Central Coast Council Administrator Rik Hart thanked the community for their patience over the course of these important works. 

“This infrastructure will be critical as we transform Gosford into an iconic waterfront city.

“We know this program of works will prepare Gosford to meet the needs of our community and visitors for the next 30 years,” Mr Hart said. 

These projects have been made possible thanks to $42.5 million in funding through the NSW Government’s Housing Acceleration Fund and a further $4.6 million through the Accelerated Infrastructure Fund.
