Gosford Public Wharf has been re-opened following the completion of maintenance and safety works.
The wharf has been closed to the public and for mooring of vessels to enable the essential works to be carried out.
They included disconnection and removal of non-compliant electricity and water services, replacement of the connecting timber bridge and deteriorated decking, headstocks and girders, replacement of handrails, painting and general maintenance.
While the wharf will be open for access, it should be noted that at this time electricity and water services are currently unavailable due to a heritage assessment being undertaken to allow trenching for the reinstatement of compliant services.
The pump-out facility remains operational.
Permits for the temporary mooring of vessels (maximum four days mooring) can be obtained from Marine Rescue Central Coast 4337 9600 or via Marine Radio at Marine Rescue Central Coast.
The wharf is monitored and mooring without a valid permit or the obstruction of access is prohibited.
Central Coast Council will enforce penalties for non-compliance with temporary permits, including vessels overstaying.
