The tender to provide banking services to Gosford City Council has been won by the Commonwealth Bank for the period 1 July 2009 to 30 April 2013.

The provision of Council's banking services was put to tender and was awarded to the financial institution in the position to best meet the needs of Council and the Gosford community.

For Gosford City Council customers, this means that from 1 July 2009 all rates and water payments previously made in person at Westpac Bank branches must now be made at Commonwealth Bank branches.

All other payment options will remain unchanged.

Jason Kambovski, National Executive Manager Local Government at the Commonwealth Bank said: “We are delighted to have been selected by Gosford City Council and are looking forward to delivering premium banking services for the Council and the local community.”

Commonwealth Bank has 13 branches located across the Central Coast region at: Gosford, West Gosford, Woy Woy, Umina Beach, Erina, Terrigal, Erina Fair, The Bay Village Bateau Bay, Lake Haven Shopping Centre Gorokan, Morisset, The Entrance, Toukley and Westfield Tuggerah.
