Scentre Group progresses plans for Tuggerah residential development

Scentre Group’s plan to develop 70ha of land with a subdivision that would see up to 2,200 homes built between the M1 and Westfield Tuggerah is now open for public comment from April 17 and ends on May 31.

The site to be developed is the former Wyong Abattoirs site and is part of a broader plan for Tuggerah Town Centre to evolve as the gateway to the northern Central Coast and to grow the district as a key location for economic development and residential growth.

It comes as the State Government has announced that Tuggerah would be one of four Transport Oriented Developments (TOD) on the Central Coast with the site being within walking distance of the Tuggerah train station.

Minister for Central Coast and Member for Wyong David Harris said, “This proposal was announced before Council went into administration in February 2019 … and it will be decided by the independent Planning Panel, not Council, because of its size,” he said.

The planning proposal would rezone land to allow a range of more than 2,200 low to high density homes including townhouses, units and seniors’ living.

The new development would be supported by a range of commercial, retail, community, recreation and entertainment uses including a new district recreation park, new youth centre and shared pathways and cycleways throughout the development and connecting to Tuggerah train station and bus interchange.
