Gosford RSL Club has created a most handsome new club building at West Gosford with great facilities.
The location of the club means it is one of the most visually prominent buildings as you first enter the Central Coast.
Unfortunately, the architects overlooked the abomination of the air-conditioning and mechanical services located on the rooftop and the negative impact these have on overall aesthetics of the building.
All this rooftop equipment is clearly visible from all elevations – not just from Central Coast Hwy coming down the hill from Kariong but from Fagans Bay along the highly used walking and cycling path enjoyed by hundreds of locals and visitors every day; an absolute eyesore towering over a serene piece of nature.
I feel sorry for the residents along the pathway whose views across the water have been ruined.
It is hard to understand why no screening was provided to hide this mess.
It’s equivalent to ‘dressing to impress’ but wearing a tin bucket on one’s head instead.

Totally agree !
I was at the ampol gas station across the road from RSL the other day and was wondering the same, why did they they not over it up nicely. the outer walls could have been a little taller.
