Central Coast Council Water and Sewer is powering ahead with an extensive works program to ensure Gosford GBD can keep pace with growth over the next 30 years.
Works to upgrade the sewer pumping station on Showground Rd and the installation of a non-return valve on Mulkarra Ave are now completed as well as the construction of a Water Pressure Reduction Valve at Gosford Golf Course which services Gosford Hospital.
Director for Water and Sewer Jamie Loader said 60 water and sewer projects were on track for completion by the end of 2024.
“The next round of works due to commence includes the construction of a new sewer rising main that will connect to a new sewer pump station located on the Gosford waterfront,” he said.
“These works will run through Gosford waterfront, Dane Dr, Gertrude St, Fredrick St and Henry Parry Dr in the Gosford and Point Frederick areas.
“In addition to these works, Council crews will be working with contractors to deliver upgrades to the sewer system along Gosford waterfront, including increasing the size of the sewer pipework and building a new pumping station.”
Detailed designs are nearing completion with the contract of works awarded to Rivers Constructions and Eire Constructions.
Council Administrator Rik Hart thanked the community for their patience over the course of the important works.
“This infrastructure will be critical as we transform Gosford into an iconic waterfront city,” he said.
“We know this program of works will prepare Gosford to meet the needs of our community and visitors for the next 30 years.”
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.
