Central Coast Council prepared a draft Central Coast Street Design Guideline (originally named Street Design Manual) and accompanying set of Standard Drawings and Technical Specifications to guide public domain works and streetscape design.

The Guideline will support consistency across the regions town centres through street design, amenity and functionality whilst also supporting the unique character each place has.

The first set of Materials Maps and Schedules have been prepared for Gosford as it has been identified as an area with high demand, with other town centres to follow.

The Guideline and Specifications have been developed to ensure a consistent and coordinated approach is taken when delivering public domain projects across the local government area. These documents have been developed in consultation with relevant Council units and the NSW Government.
