The resolution will see Council leading the formation of a Gosford Renewal Partnership with the NSW and Australian Governments, establish a Council-led Implementation Taskforce, and prepare a comprehensive Gosford CBD and Waterfront Implementation and Business Plan to guide future investment and project delivery.
Council Mayor Lawrie McKinna said Council has a clear role in driving Gosford’s long term transformation.
Deputy Mayor John Mouland said Council’s decision marks an important shift from continuous discussion to delivery.
Council will engage with State and Australian Government partners and major regional organisations to develop of the Gosford Renewal Implementation Plan. Progress reports will be provided to Council over the coming months as work begins on the next stage of Gosford’s transformation.
