The planning of Warnervale

For more than 30 years, the Warnervale District has been identified as growth area in metropolitan planning strategies.

Council started detailed planning the area with the completion of the Warnervale District Planning Strategy in June 2002. This was adopted by Council in August 2002, although it was recognised at the time that the strategy and illustrative concept for the Warnervale District and proposed town centre would require revision when more detailed investigations were completed.

In July 2006, the NSW Minister for Planning declared that two of the major projects in the Warnervale district would be considered as state significant sites, under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Major Projects) 2005. The Minister will determine new planning controls for these important projects. These projects are the Warnervale Town Centre and the Wyong Employment Zone.

Warnervale Town Centre
The Warnervale Town Centre is bound by Hakone Road to the North, Hiawatha Road to the east, Sparks Road to the south and extends west of the Great Northern Railway Line to include land that is owned by the NSW Department of Planning.

The town centre upon completion will include a new major train station and transport interchange, community facilities, concentrations of retail, commercial, open space and conservation areas as well as a variety of housing styles. The new town centre will house between 4,000 and 5,000 residents.

The community and entertainment facilities to be located within the town centre include:

• Indoor recreation and aquatic centre
      
• Knowledge Centre (incorporating a library)
     
• Art and Cultural Centre
     
• Integrated child and family centre
     
• Medical Centre
      
• Home and Community Care Facility
     
• Youth Space
     
• Cinemas

Wyong Employment Zone
Wyong Employment Zone (WEZ) is an employment opportunity for the Central Coast region. The site is strategically located between the Warnervale Town Centre and the F3 Freeway.

The WEZ will provide about 325 hectares of industrial and employment land as well as conserving about 280 hectares of conservation land for the protection of wildlife corridors and threatened species.

Wyong Employment Zone is expected to generate about 6,000 jobs.
