Central Coast Council · 12 August 2025
The committee noted the response report on better utilising and monitoring Gosford City Car Park and requested a finalised update for the November 2025 committee meeting, with priority on opening the car park on Friday and Saturday evenings, public holidays, and as demand requires.
This may improve parking access and availability in Gosford at peak visiting times.
Central Coast Council · 7 August 2025
The committee noted consultation outcomes and endorsed escalating the future of the existing library at 118 Donnison Street, Gosford, to full Council for a decision.
Residents can expect the final decision on the building’s future to be made by Council rather than at committee level.
Central Coast Council · 7 August 2025
The committee recommended pursuing commercial or community use for the building, revising the Kibble Park Place Plan, and retaining the library while feasibility and funding for repurposing are considered.
This points toward reuse of the building instead of demolition, which may affect community access, local services, and the Gosford town centre.
Central Coast Council · 7 August 2025
The committee recommended that Council rescind any decision to demolish the existing Gosford library building and apply for heritage protection.
If adopted by Council, this would protect the building from demolition and could preserve a recognised local asset.
Central Coast Council · 7 August 2025
The committee recommended continuing this committee or creating another councillor group to consider the building’s long-term use, and supported the future of the Parkhouse building being considered subject to funding and community consultation.
Further review means residents may have additional opportunities to influence long-term plans for these Gosford civic buildings.
