Parking at CCCSRI, Gosford Regional Library and Gosford Central

The university has partnered with Central Coast Council to provide 60 subsidised parking bays at their Baker St parking station, a short walk or a shuttle ride from Gosford Central, Gosford Regional Library and CCCSRI.

Staff and students will be able to access discounted rates for parking on levels 2-5 of the facility which is supported with lighting and CCTV cameras throughout each floor. Both the Ourimbah to Gosford and the Security Campus Loop shuttle will stop on Donnison St, for convenient access to the parking station.

Baker St parking station has a lift which accesses all five car park levels from Baker Street (ground level). Lift operating hours are the same as car park operating hours, which are Monday to Friday: 9am-4.30pm (excluding public holidays).

Access to the parking station is via a ServiceNow form (from December 2025). Car park facility enquiries can be directed to the Gosford City car parking office on:

An upgraded free Ourimbah to Gosford shuttle service begins 5 January 2026, operating a continuous 45-minute loop from 7:30am–6:00pm, Monday to Friday throughout the year (excluding Christmas closedown).

Electric Vehicle Charging

The University continues to invest in sustainable transport by installing electric vehicle charging stations across our campus locations. While the four charge ports located at Gosford Central and Ourimbah Campus are accessible to university fleet vehicles only, other Gosford City charging locations can be found on Plugshare.

As an electric vehicle enabled university, our community can be confident the infrastructure is in place to support electric vehicles’ growing popularity and availability. Aligned to our sustainability commitment, the electricity used to charge vehicles on campus is provided by 100% renewable sources thanks to our sector leading electricity supply agreement with Snowy Hydro Limited.
