Work on carpark to start soon

Construction on the expanded of Woy Woy Commuter Car Park will begin "almost immediately" after the project received approval following recent community feedback.

Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews said local commuters were one step closer to reaping the benefits of additional commuter parking.

"The project approval is a major milestone in the delivery of new commuter car parking spaces for Woy Woy," Ms Andrews said.

"The project involves construction of three additional stories above a section of the existing Deepwater Plaza single-story car park located off George St.

"It will provide approximately 300 additional commuter car parking spaces.

"The Central Coast community will really benefit from this project and I am delighted that construction work will begin almost immediately."

Ms Andrews said prior to major construction a temporary commuter car park would be constructed on a site located north of Woy Woy Oval and Austin Butler Oval.

She said construction on the commuter car park could then start and was due to be completed early next year.

"The temporary commuter car park is being constructed to manage parking impacts on both commuters and shoppers during the major construction activities," Ms Andrews said

The Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation is delivering the car park on behalf of the NSW Government who will advise commuters and shoppers of changes to traffic and parking during major construction in the coming weeks.
