Gosford library has been saved from the threat of demolition, with the Central Coast Council recently voting to retain rather than raze this significant Modern building.
Central Coast locals have rallied to save the Gosford Library since the demolition was proposed, with ongoing petitions, letters and community advocacy reflecting the sustained community investment in this significant place.
The National Trust has engaged with the Central Coast Council on several occasions, recommending that the Gosford Library building is suitable for adaptive re-use and noting that this would be the best possible environmental and cultural outcome in response to the evolving landscape of the Gosford CBD.
The National Trust commends the Central Coast Council for retaining this significant building — a place important to the accessibility of education in NSW and a unique architectural gem for Gosford — and the group of concerned locals whose efforts have led to a positive heritage outcome.
