Project background

Central Coast Council prepared a Planning Proposal for the Reclassifications of Council-owned land at the below listed sites. The Planning Proposal sought to reclassify the sites from Community Land to Operational Land as per Council resolutions.

  • 18 Dane Drive, Gosford (Lot 2 DP 1011876)
  • 48W Wallarah Road, Gorokan (Lot 2 DP 733448)
  • 191 Wallarah Road, Kanwal (Lot 21 DP 813270)
  • 75 Bungary Road, Norah Head (Lot 5 Sec 24 DP 758779 and Lot 1 DP 860696)
  • Part 2-4 Park Road, The Entrance NSW (part Lot 10 DP 1285833 and part Lot 1 DP 406038)
  • 13 and 15 Yaralla Road, Toukley (Lot 78 DP 20493 and Lot 79 DP 20493)
  • 49-51 Mann Street, Gosford (Lot 1 DP 251476)
  • 50W Parraweena Rd, Gwandalan (Lot 1 DP 1043151)
  • Part 6W Kemira Road, Lake Munmorah (part Lot 79 DP 217918)
  • Part 20 Summerland Road Summerland Point Lot (part 4 DP 263812)

In addition to the above land reclassifications, Council is proposing to rezone 3 sites (4 lots) from RE1 Public Recreation to RE2 Private Recreation. These sites were:

  • 48w Wallarah Road, Gorokan NSW (Lot 2 DP733448)
  • 191 Wallarah Road, Kanwal NSW (Lot 21 DP 813270)
  • Part 2-4 Park Road, The Entrance NSW (part Lot 10 DP 1285833 and part Lot 1 DP 406038)

Council resolved at its meeting of 23 August 2023 to proceed with the reclassification of seven sites as proposed as part of previous Council resolutions and included four additional sites. The site Austin Butler Access, Woy Woy, was removed from the reclassification process following resolution at the Ordinary Council Meeting of 26 September 2023, therefore 10 sites were included in this reclassification proposal.

Following a review of Council’s assets, multiple sites were identified to be either surplus to Council’s needs or have potential to benefit from long term leasing opportunities. Council is seeking to reclassify the land to operational land in order to facilitate potential sale or commercial leasing arrangements.

    Closing the loop

    Following the feedback received during public exhibition, Council staff reviewed all submissions and prepared a report on the outcome of the public exhibition process for Council's consideration. It was presented to Council at the 25 June 2024 Council Meeting - Item 2.4 Planning Proposal for Reclassification of Council land (multiple sites) - Outcomes of Public Exhibition.

    Those who made submissions were notified prior to the Council Report being considered.

    The Planning Proposal was supported by Council. As the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces was the Local Plan Making Authority for this Planning Proposal, it was progressed to the Department of Planning Housing and Infrastructure for approval and finalisation.

    The amendment to Central Coast LEP 2022 as an outcome of the approval of the Planning Proposal came into effect 8 August 2025.
