Progress report hits the streets

We’ve been out and about over the past two days handing out our Progress Report to members and potential members in the CBD. See it here.

We are building towards the AGM (at 6pm on 18th June at the Central Coast Leagues Club), when we’re aiming for a big turnout of members to elect the first Executive Committee of GBID.

Before that we will hold a Business Forum for member and potential members eligible to join us, where will go into detail about projects and activities for 2008/09, and seek input and any new ideas. That will also be at the Leagues Club at 6pm on 28th May (this month!) at 6pm. This Forum is not a public meeting – it’s only for members and people eligible to be members (commercial property owners and business operators in the Gosford CBD).

We are looking for our first manager

We’ve started the recuitment process to hire someone to manage GBID and are running ads in local papers and on the web. See more details on our home page

Gosford Council gives nod to GBID Business Plan

At its meeting on Tuesday night (6 May) Gosford City Council endorsed the GBID Business Plan for 2008/09 and gave formal approval for GBID to start operating.

We have moved on to developing projects to deal with the issues identified in the survey of priorities and to increasing our membership.
