Accessing GCCP

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.
GCCP can be accessed in your vehicle from both the roundabout on Donnison Street, or the Baker Street entry ramp via Erina Street. You can also access GCCP on foot via the lift located on Baker Street (Ground Level), which accesses all five car park levels. Lift operating hours coincide with car park operating hours.
Lighting and CCTV cameras are installed throughout each floor. Both the Ourimbah to Gosford and the Security shuttle will stop on Donnison St, for convenient access to GCCP.

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.
