What's up today?

Batley Street West Gosford

Wilhelmina Street West Gosford

Fielder Street West Gosford

There's also the Crane Count map from last week to have a look at, to see who's where and how many cranes there are now in the Gosford area.

See you next week with more building site snaps as we watch Gosford grow.


 By the way 

This page is the 100th one on this website. 

Fielder Street

Fielder Street site is called 'Bayview', 7th April 2018

The Fielder Street site now has a name: 'Bayview'. There's a pub in Woy Woy, just 15 minutes down the road, by the same name that overlooks Woy Woy Bay. In the case of this site, the bay that will be viewed will be quiet little Fagans Bay.

(Fagans Bay is often confused with the similar-sounding Phegans Bay which is down at the Woy Woy end of Brisbane Water.) 

Digging further down, 7th April 2018

Before those views are seen from the finished building, there's some more digging down to be done so the foundations can go in and then the building on top of them.

King of the heap, 7th April 2018

It's not the great sandstone hill that Wilhelmina Street was but this site doesn't look like an easy dig either.

Building materials neatly stacked up, 7th April 2018

Neat stacks of building materials and other stuff neatly stacked up ready on the other third of the site.

Fielder Street, like Hargraves and Kendall Streets, Lynn Avenue and Beane Street East, is not wide street. It's just one lane, in fact, and that's not ideal for deliveries of materials or for those big articulated trucks that take the spoil away. Happily, there's a derelict site immediately opposite that the trucks can use to turn and back up on. The workers on the other narrow streets would be very envious.


 Crane count

Last week I put up a map of all the cranes in the Gosford area. Have a look and see which ones you can see from where you are.


 Locally Owned Locally Made Gosford

This is a call for local tradies, contractors, supplies, other businesses and makers and growers to email me their work contact details and what sort of work they do for a free listing on this website and, when I get the time to add to it again, on my other site: Locally Owned Locally Made Gosford.

Email me your work contact details and a bit about your work or business or agri-business. Tell me as much as you can and I'll edit it down so everyone gets around the same amount of screen space as everyone else.

It's FREE but it's for small and medium sized LOCALS ONLY. None with ownership outside the NSW Central Coast and its hinterland suppliers.

And you can pop over and look at those locals already listed on my Locally Owned Locally Made Gosford website.

Wilhelmina Street

Wilhelmina Street site seen from Donnison St West, 7th April 2018

'Harbour View' apartments at Wilhelmina Avenue is a tight site so the materials and so on have to be stacked up in a small empty block behind the site, on Donnison Street West.

Wilhelmina Street site from lower Batley Street, 7th April 2018

Work on site is up to the 6th floor (including ground floor) with interior work on the lower floors having been started.

Ditch-witch & ditch at Wilhelmina Street site, 7th April 2018

We've had a bit of rain at night lately and I doubt that's helping the ditch-witch operator.

'Harbour View''s wavy front from Wilhelmina Street, 7th April 2018

Here we can see how wavy the shape of the facade of 'Harbour View' is. It's the only shaped one I've seen so far in this building boom.


 Views

Brisbane Water & Fagans Bay* from Batley Street, 7th April 2018

Brisbane Water (left part of water) and Fagans Bay (right part) from the corner of Wilhelmina Avenue and Batley Street. We're looking south here, towards Sydney.

* Fagans Bay is often confused with the similar sounding Phegans Bay which is near Woy Woy station.

Batley Street

Batley Street apartments, 7th April 2018

Rising above it all on the peak of the hill.

Brick walls going up inside, 7th April 2018

Brick walls going up inside, 7th April 2018

Brick walls going up inside, 7th April 2018

Brick walls and doorways going up over the concrete core inside the building.

Kariong Ridge in the background, 7th April 2018

That's Kariong Ridge in the background. And the weird blue thing in the bottom right corner is someone's car roof.

Batley Street apartments, 7th April 2018

In the background, Fagans Bay on the left and the light industrial part of West Gosford on the right, at the bottom of Kariong Ridge. This building, and 'Harbour View' in Wilhelmina Street, will have views of the trees on Kariong Ridge as well as views down into little Fagans Bay and down the length of Brisbane Water. The lighthouse on Barrenjoey Head, in the mouth of Broken Bay, flashes at night and should be visible from many of the upper apartments in both buildings.
