Carpark could have second stage
Construction of commuter carparking in Woy Woy could have a second stage, according to Gosford Council staff.
Stage one, which could start as soon as February, involves demolishing the section of single-deck Deepwater Plaza Carpark and constructing four new decks on the site generating at least 292 additional commuter parking spaces.
Ground level and first level parking decks would remain retail parking.
"The Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation proposes to construct columns strong enough to accommodate a future fifth deck," the council staff report stated.
"Stage two would involve future horizontal expansion of the decks into Deepwater Plaza airspace (generating approximately 128 extra spaces per level), and the possible removal of the first level deck to accommodate commercial shops.
"These extensions would need to be developed and funded by Deepwater Plaza at the time they wish to expand, and would be subject to development consent by council.
"The possible addition of a fifth deck (providing an additional 244 spaces) would be subject to future negotiations between council and Deepwater Plaza."
