Council-under administration meeting, June 24, 2024
Renewal of lease for Gosford Bowling Club
Administrator adopted a Minute for a five year lease with the Leagues Club which in turn manages the bowling club.
It would start on December 2024.
Administrator Rik Hart said it would give the club a high level of security for five and half years and that would give councillors a chance to look at the issue.
The bowling club has been earmarked for sale as part of Council’s waterfront activation project. Later in the agenda is an item which explains that the State Government has given the waterfront project to the Hunter and Central Coast Development Corporation.
CEO David Farmer will be Council’s representative on the proposed Gosford waterfront revitalisation executive steering committee.

Rezoning for more housing at Woongarrah
Item 2.11 Planning Proposal to rezone 2 Woongarrah Road, Woongarrah
The Planning Proposal seeks to rezone the E1 Local Centre and MU1 Mixed Use zones to R1 General Residential under the CCLEP.
The Planning Proposal will also require amendment to Chapter 4.1 of Central Coast Development Control Plan 2022.
The proposal will provide additional housing in an established residential area in response to the changed direction of the Warnervale Town Centre.
The Proposal intends to enable development of 2 Woongarrah Road, Woongarrah for medium density residential purposes that supports a diverse housing mix and is consistent with the emerging residential development in the local centre.
The Planning Proposal was considered by the Local Planning Panel on 6 June 2024 who supported the recommendation and considered that the Planning Proposal has merit.
It is also known as Stage 10 within the overall masterplan for the site.

The Water Supply and Sewerage Development Servicing Plans (DSPs) detail the developer charges that are required to be paid by developers towards the provision of existing and future water supply and sewerage infrastructure.
