The Kibble Park Place Plan Council began consultation on the revitalisation of the park in 2020 and wants to know if its refined draft Kibble Park Concept Design gets it right.

The Central Coast Street Design Manual

The manual and the accompanying set of standard drawings and technical specifications are a first for the Central Coast.

It supports consistency across the regions’ town centres through street design, amenity and functionality while also supporting the unique character each place has.

The Central Coast Local Housing Strategy Council’s draft strategy explores the challenges associated with housing such as continuing rapid population growth, the shortage of lowcost rental accommodation and the lack of diversity within the existing housing stock and identifies a vision and key objectives to address these challenges.

Reclassification of Councilowned land

Reclassification of land including the former Gosford council chambers building is required to support development of a new TAFE campus on the site.

Safer Cities: Her Way

This is one of five project streams under the Safer Cities program by the NSW Government which is investing $30M over the next two years to trial place-based approaches.

It looks at how we can improve safety for women, girls and gender diverse people when travelling to, through and within public spaces and transport hubs.

Gosford Regional Library

The vision for the new Regional Library is to create an iconic building in the heart of Gosford CBD.

The development application for Gosford Regional Library has been approved by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment.

The next step is to award the tender of the project to begin construction of the new library.

Gosford waterfront revitalisation

These projects will further support the infrastructure requirements for Gosford to fulfil its role as the capital of the Central Coast and a thriving city.

The Coastal Management Program: HawkesburyNepean River System Council, in collaboration with five other councils, is developing a Coastal Management Program (CMP) for the Hawkesbury-Nepean River System which includes the Brisbane Water.
