Revitalisation of Gosford City Centre as the capital of a healthy, prosperous and connected Central Coast, is a key priority of the Central Coast Regional Plan 2036.
The NSW Government Architect’s Urban Design Framework provides the long-term vision for the continued development and renewal of the Gosford City Centre. The State Environmental Planning Policy (Gosford City Centre) 2018 and accompanying development control plan provides the planning controls for future development and requires that all development exhibit design excellence and contribute to the natural, cultural, visual and built character values of Gosford City Centre.
The City of Gosford Design Advisory Panel, established in October 2018, provides design excellence advice to proponents at the pre-lodgement stage and the consent authority in the assessment of development proposals.
Landowners and developers wishing to develop within Gosford City Centre should apply the new planning, infrastructure and assessment provisions, which can be viewed by clicking the links below:
State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) (Gosford City Centre) 2018, which establishes the statutory controls that recognise the state-significant importance of Gosford as a regional capital.
The SEPP provides the overall zoning and development controls within Gosford City Centre. The SEPP established where land-use zones apply, land uses that are permissible within each zone in the city centre and the primary controls for development.
The City of Gosford Design Advisory Panel has been established to support the revitalisation by providing advice on urban design, architecture and landscape for development proposals within Gosford City Centre.
A guide for proponents and stakeholders called City of Gosford Design Advisory Panel identifies the role and operation of the City of Gosford Design Advisory Panel and how the design excellence process will be applied in Gosford City Centre.
The Government Architect NSW has created the Gosford Urban Design Framework, which maps out a design-led, place-based revitalisation process that focuses on public domain renewal.
