MEDIA RELEASE 

Central Coast Council is commencing a significant program of remediation works at Gosford City Car Park from 12 July to repair, maintain and extend the lifespan of this well used facility.

Central Coast Council Acting Director Environment and Planning, Luke Sulkowski said that Gosford City Car Park services the local community and visitors from near and far.  

“This multilevel facility has 650 car spaces that provides both permanent and casual parking and provides for city centre workers, residents, and visitors to Gosford.  

“This infrastructure is over 40 years old, and a comprehensive structural assessment identified numerous areas that require remediation works.  Whilst a business study was undertaken to look at the option of knock-down and re-build, it was determined that the $2million investment in remediation works would be the most cost-effective way to ensure parking availability in Gosford for the next 20-plus years.

“The car park will remain operational throughout the work period. However, there will be a reduced level of casual parking, and drivers may experience delays entering, parking, or exiting the car park throughout the works period.

“During peak times of use, such as when significant events are being held at Gosford, we encourage the use of public transport or to allow additional travel time in case the car park becomes full, and parking needs to be sought at one of the other car parks or street parking in and around Gosford.”

Council Administrator Rik Hart said Council regularly invests in the maintenance of essential infrastructure.

“These works are funded by Central Coast Council - partially through Gosford Parking Station Special Rate Levy (external restricted funding), with the remaining balance by Council’s general funding.

“Investment in these works aligns to Central Coast Council’s Car Parking Study and Implementation Plan’s long-term parking goals and will ensure this facility continues to service this busy regional centre well into the future.

Works are scheduled to commence from 12 July 2024, with an anticipated work period of 6-9 months (with completion expected early 2025).
