The Gosford Regional Library is now well passed the halfway-mark in construction with a major ‘Topping Out’ milestone being reached – the completion of the third suspended, and final, floor slab.

Central Coast Council Mayor Lawrie McKinna was joined by Dr Gordon Reid, Member for Robertson, and North Construction & Building (North) Managing Director Matthew Cook, to celebrate this next stage in the construction of this significant project for the Central Coast.

The milestone provides a clear indication as to the size and statement of the building.

Designed over four spacious levels, the Gosford Regional Library will be a truly modern and iconic facility in the heart of the Gosford central business district, where borrowers, visitors and event attendees can connect, create and collaborate.

Providing spaces for children, for study and focus, dedicated meeting rooms, function space, and innovation areas for creative work, it will contribute enormously to Gosford, and ultimately the Central Coast, becoming a first-class region for employment, education, health and tourism.

The $32.7m project is jointly funded with $7 million from the Australian Government’s Community Development Grant Program and Council’s collection of developer contributions, special levies (collected by former Gosford City Council) and Council funds restricted to this project.  

With the completion date expected to be mid-2025, the construction steps will see the transitioning from the current concrete structure to the completion of the roof and facade in the first quarter of 2025.

The Australian Government's investment in the Gosford Regional Library complements the Governments on-going investment into Gosford, including in the new University of Newcastle Central Coast Campus also under construction in Gosford.
