Rezoning approved for 1300 new homes
Five planning proposals have been finalised that could deliver more than 1300 new homes, around 1000 jobs, a hotel, open space and protect 53 hectares of conservation land on the Central Coast, according Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast Mr Adam Crouch.
He said the Government had finalised a planning proposal to create 920 construction and ongoing jobs and enable the redevelopment of Doyalson-Wyee RSL Club.
"This paves the way for the expansion of the existing club, and enables 360 homes to be built, including seniors housing, a hotel, go-kart track, paintball activities, restaurants, and more," Mr Crouch said.
He said a community centre and 170 prefabricated homes had been "unlocked" at Chain Valley Bay.
"This can provide an important supply of affordable housing, with land being leased rather than purchased, and the homes able to be easily assembled on-site.
"These planning proposals are a great win for the local community and a game-changer for the Central Coast - helping to bolster the housing pipeline, promote cultural heritage and strengthen aboriginal self-determination."
Darkinjung Local Aboriginal Land Council chairperson Mr Barry "BJ" Duncan said: "This is a historic moment."
He said Darkinjung had worked over the years to "activate land to help our people and the broader community".
"Today we are proud to be one significant step closer to this goal."
Two further rezonings have also been approved to facilitate 300 new homes along the Pacific Highway at Lake Munmorah, including a small park and new pedestrian and cycling pathways, as well as 90 new homes along Mulloway Rd at Chain Valley BayDevelopment applications are required to be lodged before construction can begin.
