The Gosford Waterfront project is a NSW Government election commitment assigned to HCCDC in mid-2024.
We are currently undertaking studies and investigations to inform our planning for the future of the Gosford Waterfront.
Building on Central Coast Council's vision for the precinct, we are exploring public domain improvements that can be delivered in the short term, while planning for the long term to allow the community to enjoy the waterfront in new and improved ways.
Landscaping and urban transformation initiatives.
With our experience delivering the award-winning Leagues Club Park, as well as our leadership in unlocking the University of Newcastle Central Coast campus, we are excited to have a role in the Gosford waterfront project and create tangible community benefits.

Movement and usage surveys.
Throughout January and February 2025, we are using sensors to measure pedestrian, cyclist and car parking activity along Gosford waterfront.
This research will provide valuable information into how the community uses the space and will help inform any potential future infrastructure and amenity improvements.
The cameras track movement only and do not record any identifiable information.
Refer to the FAQs below for more information.
What types of sensors is HCCDC using?
HCCDC contractors have installed 5 camera sensors within the waterfront area. These sensors are locally manufactured and use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to count how and how many people use the waterfront, without capturing any information that could identify individuals or their vehicles.
What information do the sensors collect?
Specific areas of focus include:
• pedestrian and cyclist moving through the area
• car parking usage
• use of the pedestrian crossings.
The systems will collect data during end January and early February to capture both school holiday and term usage, as well as Australia Day and other busy periods.
The sensors will count pedestrian, cycling and car parking activity only and do not record, store or transmit any information that can be used to identify people or vehicles.
Where are the sensors installed?
The sensors have been installed on 5 streetlights between Industree Group Stadium and Gosford Boat Ramp carpark. Locations have been selected to capture as much useful information as possible about the use of the waterfront.
How long will the sensors be installed for?
The sensors will be active for 4 weeks from 20 January until 16 February 2025.
How will HCCDC use the data?
The de-identified data will provide critical information about how the community and visitors use the Gosford waterfront area, including walking and cycling routes, busy and quiet times and car parking and boat trailer parking use.
This data will inform any future investment in the site, and guide locations for new amenity and public space improvements.
HCCDC will only use this data to help understand the use of the site to inform design and planning work. We will only share the results confidentially with members of the consulting team working on this project. None of the information captured or shared will allow individuals or their vehicles to be identified and raw data will not be shared with external parties.
