We have identified initial areas of interest that could help stimulate the economy and create local jobs on the Central Coast:
- Locate a university campus in Gosford city centre to bring greater learning opportunities to the region, stimulate the economy and create local jobs
- Expand health services in Gosford to support the Central Coast’s growing population and generate local jobs
- Facilitate faster transport connections to and from regional centres to foster economic growth and new jobs on the Central Coast
- Increase the amount of serviced industrial lands on the Central Coast to support and expand industries such as food technology and advanced manufacturing
- Streamline planning processes to help remove barriers, such as uncertainty and wait times, for businesses looking to locate on the Central Coast
- Establish a high-speed internet network to attract new, diverse businesses to the Central Coast and remove any existing barriers for growth related to digital connectivity

Clean the main roads & roundabouts up!
Why would anyone invest in an area that doesn’t even care about its presentation. Metre high weeds along all main roads, traffic islands and roundabouts! Graffiti on all road signs and even if the grafiiti is reported to council repeatedly - it is never cleaned off! The whole region looks like a welfare slum! I travel up and down the east coast of Australia regularly for work and there isn’t another town or region that is in the same disgraceful state!

Activate natural areas
Activating our natural areas for activities such as mountain biking, trail running, kayaking, sailing etc will drive eco tourism and also serve to draw new residents who wish to engage in the active lifestyle that the coast can offer. New businesses will be required to service these forms of recreation.

Career opportunities
We spend so much time working. I want to ensure that the place I move to has ample opportunities in my field before making a final decision to move there. This is why I think it's a great idea that you're looking at ways in grow the economy around Gosford. It's been in the doldrums for some time now.

Need to finish current main road projects and and ensure plans are in place for increased infrastructure before further expansion
Need to address infrastructure issues on the coast to cope with the expanding population and economy. Main road projects are still to be completed in the Wyong and Gosford areas. Fast Rail transport could possible alleviate some of this, has been mentioned many times but is also still not complete.
