No plans for Peninsula infrastructure within two years

The infrastructure projects for the Peninsula are not mentioned within the next two years for a project plan by Central Coast Council to implement the Central Coast Regional Plan.

Work on establishing northern and southern growth corridors will be the main planning priorities of the Central Coast Council for the next two years, as well as a housing policy.

The Southern Growth Corridor takes in Somersby as the "regional gateway", West Gosford, Gosford City and Erina.

The Peninsula is not part of the growth corridor.

"This project requires Council undertaking the necessary planning to establish these corridors as key locations for economic development, residential growth and investment in health, education, research, knowledge-based industries, professional services, sport and leisure, agribusiness, food manufacturing, high tech manufacturing and clean technologies," according to a report prepared by council staff.

Actions that the Council will be required to oversee during the next two years include precinct planning for Somersby Business Park, Mt Penang and Kariong, a renewal plan for the Gosford City centre, and supporting revitalisation of East Gosford and Erina.

The report, considered by Council administrator Mr Ian Reynolds at a meeting on November 23, recommended that Council prepare a project plan for the delivery of projects identified as immediate priorities in the Central Coast Regional Plan Implementation Plan.
