Central Coast Council Water and Sewer are continuing to work with contractors to complete an extensive works program, ensuring reliable water and sewer infrastructure in the Gosford CBD that meets the needs of the community, now and in the future. 

Works will be commencing next week to install a new sewer main along Henry Parry Drive, Gosford. Works will take place between Shortland Street, Gosford and Frederick Street Point Fredrick. 

Director for Water and Sewer Jamie Loader said construction is due to commence this week, with works to be completed mid-July 2024 – weather dependant. 

“Council crews have worked closely with Transport for NSW to ensure these works will cause the least amount of disruption to the Gosford community. We know Henry Parry Drive is a high traffic zone, and for this reason works will occur outside of busy travel times. 

“Whilst we have taken steps to minimise the impact of these works, I encourage our community to allow extra travel time when travelling through Gosford during this stage of the project and thank them for their patience as we get these essential works completed,” Mr Loader said. 

The works will generate construction noise which may impact residents who live in close proximity to the project. Noisy works will be planned, where possible, within daytime hours and the early evening. 

Central Coast Council Administrator, Rik Hart said the project will help support the revitalisation of Gosford City Centre as the capital of a healthy, prosperous and connected Central Coast.

“The work we are doing now will ensure we have a reliable water and sewer service for years to come to support the expected growth across the region,” Mr Hart said.

Works will be carried out between 9:30am-2:30pm Monday – Friday and 8pm-5am Sunday – Thursday. Traffic controls will be in place during the works times. 

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.
