A big week as Gosford forges ahead
The Archibald Precinct is officially open
It’s been a huge week for Gosford, with the opening of the longawaited Archibald Precinct on the site of the former Union Hotel and a hugely successful open day at the new Gosford campus of The University of Newcastle, which is set to open next year. Business NSW Central Coast Regional Director Scott Goold said with more major developments in the CBD well underway, the longed-for reactivation of the regional capital was finally becoming a reality. He said the Urban Property Group had almost completed the first tower
of its Central Coast Quarter development on the former Gosford Public School site at the south end of town. “What people might not realise is that there are two more towers planned for that development and one of those towers will be a hotel so we will have five-star hotels at each end of town,” Mr Goold said. “There will also be more residential housing in that development, along with food, beverage and retail space – it is really exciting.” Continued page 10
