About the Challenge

With its stunning natural beauty, and its formal designation by the State Government as the Regional City for the Central Coast, Gosford is primed to become a world-class waterfront city. Gosford will become an outstanding place to live, work, study and play.

The Gosford Challenge is about making this happen.

In the future Gosford will be the capital of a thriving region. Most people from the region will be educated locally; they will work locally, meet their partner and raise their children locally. Gosford will be the place people are referring to when they talk about working in the city, or living in the city. People will speak of Gosford with pride.

The Gosford Challenge is laying the foundations for twenty, forty, sixty years ahead.

We are not planning a building or a shopping centre; we are planning a city that will grow to support a region for decades to come. Gosford will become a city that will grow not just bigger, but better, each decade. The population of the whole region will flourish as the result of greater investment in the area, greater educational opportunities leading to great ideas and investment - the region will get caught in an up-cycle.

The reason Gosford will be the heart of the Central Coast is because the foundations are in place and Gosford is full of potential. The population is substantial and growing - Gosford has a major railway station on the line that links Sydney and Newcastle, with two hospitals, great sporting infrastructure, a primary school, two high schools and a TAFE and the City sits on a beautiful waterway surrounded by natural bushlands.
