Tenders called for carpark design

Tenders have been called for a detailed design of a multi-million dollar Woy Woy Station car park expansion and interchange upgrade.

Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews said the call for tenders for the detailed design marked the next step in the project, which is expected to be begin early next year and be completed late next year.

"We've already got a concept design for the car park and interchange finalised.

"Now we need an expert to work on the nuts and bolts of the detailed car park design," Ms Andrews said.

"That design work is expected to be complete by mid-year with development applications to Gosford Council and a call for tender for the construction work to follow later this year."

Ms Andrews said council was managing the project on a day-to-day basis and was working closely with the Government to ensure the best infrastructure for Woy Woy's commuters.

"This is great news for Woy Woy commuters and will see the multi-deck car park expanded to include an additional 220 car park spaces, bringing the number of commuter car spaces to around 1000," Ms Andrews said.

"This expansion is about making it easier for local commuters to leave their car at the station and travel to work.

"And with significant population growth on the Central Coast, the upgrade will also provide for increased use of Woy Woy Station."

Ms Andrews said the upgrade would deliver on the Iemma Government's election commitment to improve parking for Central Coast commuters.
