Gosford Promotions Committee

There was a nice piece on page 4 of Friday’s edition of the Express Advocate under the headline “Bid to revitalise city centre”. The pic showed Mayor Jim McFadyen welcoming the first GBID member – our number 1 tickeholder, so to speak – Joan Grant of Central Coast Flowers.

We don’t like to quibble, but would like to make one correction. The article said the BID would replace the Gosford Promotions Committee. Actually the BID will replace Council’s CBD Working Committee. It will adopt the Promotions Committee. In fact, GBID will take on the Promtions Committee’s event calendar for 2008. 

Progress Report

Thanks to all who have filled in the priorities survey. We’re collating responses and using them to put together a key part of the Business Plan for 2008/09. We’ll have a final draft of that completed in the next few days and will take to Gosford Council for endorsement as part of the due dilliegence process of formally setting up GBID.

We’ll be giving feedback on priorities in the coming weeks to all who have contributed.

 Thanks also to the new members signing up. As you may have seen on page 4 of today’s Express Advocate, Mayor Jim McFadyen formally welcomed the first member of GBID,  Joan Grant of Central Coast Flowers. Keep those membership applications rolling in! Any commercial property owner or business owner/operating in the Gosford CBD is elligible for membership of GBID. The more members we have, the more weight we’ll have in the corridors of power, the more we’ll be able to achieve.
