Central Coast Council is inviting the community to have their say on the Draft Conservation Management Plan for Gosford Memorial Park and Rotary Park, open for public exhibition from Tuesday 7 October to Tuesday 4 November 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Draft Conservation Management Plan provides a comprehensive framework to guide the preservation, maintenance and future development of these much-loved parks, ensuring their heritage values are protected for generations to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Council Mayor, Lawrie McKinna said the Gosford Memorial Park and Rotary Park are places that hold deep community significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese parks are more than green spaces, they are places of remembrance, gathering and connection. They hold a special place in the hearts of the community,\u201d Mayor McKinna said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI encourage everyone in the community to have their say on the Conservation Management Plan for Gosford Memorial Park and Rotary Park. Your voice will help Council preserve our shared heritage and shape a vibrant and inclusive future for these cherished public spaces.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Council Director Environment and Planning, Luke Nicholls said the conservation Management Plan will acknowledge key points of interest to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCommunity feedback on this plan will shape how Council will maintain and restore important features within the parks,\u201d Mr Nicholls said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe plan relates to the Cenotaph, Boer War Memorial, Lone Pine, Sister Sumner Memorial and the Rotary Park fountain. It will also provide feedback to improve accessibility, enhance public art and improve green spaces for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy adopting a Conservation Management Plan, Council can streamline heritage approvals, respond more quickly to maintenance needs and establish a strong foundation for future grant applications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The community are invited to attend an information session at 3pm on Thursday 16 October at the new Gosford Regional Library (Level 1, Wadhay Meeting Room 3), to ask questions or share their views in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
