Central Coast Council’s extensive works program for the Gosford CBD is powering ahead, with work set to begin on a new sewer main along Henry Parry Dr, between Shortland St, Gosford, and Frederick St, Point Fredrick.
Council’s Director for Water and Sewer Jamie Loader said the work should be completed mid-July, weather permitting.
“Council crews have worked closely with Transport for NSW to ensure these works will cause the least amount of disruption to the Gosford community,” he said.
“We know Henry Parry Dr is a high traffic zone, and for this reason works will occur outside of busy travel times.
“Whilst we have taken steps to minimise the impact of these works, I encourage our community to allow extra travel time when travelling through Gosford during this stage of the project and thank them for their patience as we get these essential works completed.”
The works will generate construction noise which may impact residents who live close to the project.
Noisy works will be planned, where possible, within daytime hours and the early evening.
Council Administrator Rik Hart said the project would help support the revitalisation of Gosford City Centre as the capital of a healthy, prosperous and connected Central Coast.
“The work we are doing now will ensure we have a reliable water and sewer service for years to come to support the expected growth across the region,” he said.
Works will be carried out between 9.30am and 2.30pm Monday to Friday and 8pm-5am, Sunday to Thursday.
Traffic controls will be in place during the work times.
The projects have been made possible thanks to $42.5M in funding through the NSW Government’s Housing Acceleration Fund and a further $4.6M through the Accelerated Infrastructure Fund.
