I am seriously against the proposal to significantly increase the height of the southern tower an eastern tower. I believe in the original planning of this complex, that that height would the be same or lower than the existing tower. I love that new developments are popping up around Gosford but the central coast quarter as it currently stands is already quite imposing for anyone driving into Gosford. It already overshadows a lot of the park area. Having another hotel proposed for Gosford seems very overkill having worked for an online hotel booking agent for over 11f years and I believe with not much happening in Gosford other than the odd games at the stadium having empty hotel rooms and empty apartments in the many high rises we already have, end us with us having an over supply of units that will negatively impact the housing market here. the proposal of 36 and 42 storey blocks is way too high. We do not have the infrastructure, roads and transportation systems in place to support all these new apartments, parking is already severely limited and has been for a while.

I believe the unprecedented increase in the size and floor ratio of the project at 26-30 Mann Street goes well beyond the height of surrounding buildings. This will create a significant disruption to the view of residents nearby as well as when observing Gosford from the waterfront. I have no objection to the initial proposed size of the project but this expansion is untenable given the discrepancy of the size of the buildings with those around it and will increase the likelihood of other similar buildings being developed, further impacting traffic and limited parking. Currently my commute through Gosford centre already takes anywhere from 5-15 minutes on what is less than 500m of road. Adding far more density is not tenable in the current arrangement. Thankyou for your consideration.

Gosford is a beautiful city for those who arrive by road. For those who arrive by train, it's dreary and boring, which is a shame considering the two precincts are so close to each other. I support anything that revitalises the precinct around the train station

This is far too high for Gosford and not in line with the current waterfront tower 1 in which I live. I would not have bought here if I had known the other 2 towers would be so high. It will block the views and light for everyone around. The traffic is already crazy around Gosford and adding this many extra apartments will make it worse. I am all for progress, but these are just too high right in front of the water.

It is too high for Gosford not fit the place previous design had been much better

I object to the scale of the proposed changes to SSD -90960208. The revised height of the towers is vastly out of context with the ongoing development in the Gosford CBD.
The revised development will be higher than the surrounding hillside of Gosford and will greatly detract from the councils established policy of retaining a backdrop to the city of eucalypt forest on the ridgetops.
In addition the development will no longer provide a graduated view from the waterside (which is under further planning proposal to enhance the waterfront precint) to the park area and onto the Gosford CBD.
This proposal is totally unrealistic for a small regional town. If additional housing is needed there are plenty of other areas that could be developed along the rail line on the western side of Brisbane Water with much less visual impact on the city.

I strongly object to the extension of the two Central Coast Quarter towers to their newly proposed heights. I think the original smaller proposal was acceptable, but the height of the new proposal is excessive for Gosford and this location, especially being so close to the waterfront.

Gosford isn't the Gold Coast or Sydney Harbour, and I don't think we want to be. The waterfront is Gosford's best asset, it's a very special place, and should be protected. Any developments so close to the waterfront should have to meet stringent criteria.

In my opinion, I think Gosford needs to develop, but do so carefully, while keeping some charm and protecting our natural beauty. We should not just approve every enormous skyscraper that developers want to build. Please keep the original smaller heights that were proposed.

Please also try to ensure buildings that are approved have been designed well with good style and charm, so they are not ugly or an eyesore or soulless - that's the last thing we need.

Look to recent developments that have been widely praised for their appearance, such as the Archibald towers (27 and 28 stories high), the new Newcastle Uni campus in Gosford and the new regional library in Gosford.
