The Lederer Property Group continues its campaign to engage the Gosford community and win its support for its Gosford Alive concept.

Lederer property own the Imperial Centre and have purchased the Kibbleplex site from Gosford Council for $13 million.

Their Gosford Alive concept is a 20-year plan to revitalise the heart of the Gosford CBD with a new residential precinct on the Kibbleplex site, a redevelopment of Kibble Park and, finally, an expanded retail centre on the site of the current Imperial Centre.

Lederer’s first “community engagement” event was Sundae In the Park, a family day held in Kibble Park on Sunday, February 28. The property group’s Gosford Alive pop up stand was at Sundae in the Park giving out information and it will also be at Gosford Station, William St Mall and at the Imperial Shopping Centre in coming days.

Lederer will also run more formal community information sessions on March 14 and 15 to provide more information about how its master plan for Gosford and how the proposed precinct will take shape over the next 20 years. The venues for the information sessions will be Central Coast Leagues Club and the Gosford Golf Club.

The first stage of the project will see the Gosford Alive Master Plan lodged as a Stage One development application with Gosford Council before the end of April. Due to the capital investment value of the project, it will need to be approved by the Joint Regional Planning Panel.

The master plan provides for the staging of the project at five year intervals. Pending the approval of the master plan DA, each subsequent stage would be the subject of its own development application and would be assessed against a planning framework that accompanies the stage one DA and relevant stage and local environmental planning instruments.
