More changes for Gosford residential towers

The development viewed from Henry Parry Dr

ADS Associates Pty Ltd has put forward a seventh modification proposal for a retail and residential development in Gosford, originally approved in August 2008.

It is anticipated the project will be completed by December 2026, consisting of two towers, one 12 storey and the other 14, above three levels of basement car parking.

They will be constructed on a vacant site with frontages to 7 Watt St and 150 Henry Parry Dr, opposite Rumbalara Reserve.

The latest Modification Report sets out design changes to internal layout, public areas, communal open space, façade materials and finishes, plus an increase of 24 apartments bringing the total to 125.

Originally, the development was to be two 11-storey buildings above five levels of basement car parking, accommodating retail, commercial, medical spaces, and 101 residential units.

The first modification approved in May 2012 saw the deletion of a supermarket and medical centre, the deletion of car parking levels 1-4, the addition of level 12, and various other design changes.

In 2013 three different modification proposals saw another two floors added to accommodate 13 more units, three levels of car parking and changes to the staging of construction.

Another modification proposal in October 2022 sought approval for changes to internal layout, building envelope, floor levels and the building façade.

It was refused by Central Coast Council in July 2024 on grounds relevant to vehicular access, pedestrian movement and stormwater runoff.

The latest modification proposal, on public exhibition until February 21, addresses Council issues but remains of similar design to the previously approved development comprising a podium and two towers up to 12 and 14 levels, including part basement car parking.

General amendments include two lifts in each tower, car parking improvements, relocation of retail and office units from the open space and swimming pool area on level 3, reconfiguration of residential units from level four upwards for better amenity, and rooftop communal open space on the 12-level tower.

See the Modification Report (DA/34204/2007H) on Council’s website and public feedback will be accepted until February 21.
