Parking at Gosford City Car Park (GCCP)

The university has partnered with Central Coast Council to provide 60 subsidised parking bays at their Gosford City Car Park (GCCP) formerly known as 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 subsidised rates for parking on levels 2-5 of the facility on a first come, first served basis. Once the subsidised places are taken, drivers will needto take a casual ticket and pay on exit.

Access to the parking station university rates is via a ServiceNow form, under the drop-down option 'Parking Station Access'. Your application is sent to the Central Coast Council team to fulfil so please wait for confirmation via email from Council to advise that your application has been finalised and your parking pass is ready for collection, in order to access the subsidised parking rate. You are still able to park within GCCP prior to this notification; however, you will be charged standard casual parking rates until the parking pass is collected.

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.
