CENTRAL COAST COUNCIL Gosford CBD shuttle service to make parking easier C entral Coast Council is launching a free Gosford CBD shuttle bus service to make parking in the city easier. Council Director Roads, Transport, Drainage and Waste, Boris Bolgoff said the new ‘easy run’ shuttle will run approximately every 10 minutes during peak times and will take passengers to key Gosford CBD locations. “This is a 100 percent free service that will collect passengers from parking locations at Adcock Park and our new site at Racecourse Road,” Mr Bolgoff said. “We are aware that workers within the Gosford CBD have difficulties finding all-day parking opportunities, this shuttle bus service will provide easier access to the CBD area without the stress of finding suitable car parking. “The locations of the ‘easy run’ buses can be tracked online and passengers can choose to get off at Gosford High School, several stops along Mann Street, or the Australian Tax Office (ATO) building.” Buses will run on weekdays from 6am to 8pm, approximately every 10 minutes during peak periods (6-10am and 3-8pm) and around every 20 minutes during the middle of the day. Mayor Lisa Matthews said expanding options for community members travelling to Gosford CBD for work and services was a major focus for Council. “Gosford is a major and growing hub up for our region and we know that parking can be challenging for members of our community who travel to the CBD for work and to access services,” Mayor Matthews said. “I’d encourage everyone to check out our new and free shuttle service – park at Adcock Park or Racecourse Road and catch ‘easy run’ to the Gosford CBD location that works best for you.” The Gosford CBD ‘easy run’ shuttle service will start on Monday 16 December 2019.
