HCCDC is leading the Gosford waterfront project. We are exploring opportunities to revitalise the waterfront public space and improve connectivity while providing opportunities for future investment.
We have been tasked with this project by the NSW Government and are taking steps to revitalise the waterfront by:
- developing a public domain plan for the waterfront land from Polytec Stadium in the north to the 1st Gosford Scouts in the south
- making some public space improvements that can be delivered now, as well as identifying potential future enhancements
- investigating ways to improve the connection between the CBD and the waterfront
- designing and costing an active transport shared path between Gosford and Point Clare.
Project area
Gosford waterfront is located along Brisbane Water. We are designing a public domain plan for the space outlined below.
The Gosford waterfront project is a NSW Government election commitment that was assigned to HCCDC in mid-2024.
We have completed studies and investigations to inform our planning and are currently working with key stakeholders including Central Coast Council on a new public domain plan for the waterfront.
Early-2025: Movement and usage surveys
Throughout January and February 2025, we used sensors to measure pedestrian, cyclist and car parking activity along Gosford waterfront to provide valuable information about how the community and visitors use the space. The insights from this study will help guide locations for new amenity and public space improvements.
The sensors tracked movement only, and did not record any information that would allow individuals or their vehicles to be identified. HCCDC will use this data to inform design and planning works, and the results will only be shared confidentially with members of the consulting team working on this project.
Mid-2025: Community consultation survey
In July and August 2025 we invited the community share their ideas on features that will make the waterfront a more attractive place to visit in the future, and help us understand what people would most like to see delivered first.
The insights from this survey will help us determine public domain improvements that can be made in the short term, and also prepare the public domain plan for the future of the precinct.
The survey closed on 17 August 2025, and we look forward to sharing the insights from this soon.
