Decisions
Town-centre investigation order changed
Council prioritised investigations into town centres from 2026–27, with Year 1 covering Woy Woy and The Entrance, Year 2 Lake Haven and Toukley, and Year 3 the Narara district—Lisarow, Wyoming, Niagara Park and Ourimbah—and West Gosford.
The listed centres may receive earlier planning and improvement investigations that could guide future public-realm, access and investment decisions.
Connecting to Country grant project
The Committee received the report on the Greening Our Cities grant for Woy Woy, Ettalong and Umina and agreed to share cultural knowledge and feedback to support project delivery.
Local greening works in the three suburbs are intended to incorporate Aboriginal cultural knowledge and Connecting to Country principles.
Town Centre Improvement Program priorities
Recommended investigating Toukley and The Entrance in 2026–27, Lake Haven and Woy Woy in 2027–28, and Narara District—Lisarow, Wyoming, Niagara Park and Ourimbah—and West Gosford in 2028–29.
These centres are scheduled for future improvement investigations, which may inform later public-realm or town-centre projects.
Topics
Transport-oriented development planning
Council resolved to approach the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure about investigating Woy Woy as an Accelerated Transport Oriented Development precinct and Erina and Lake Haven as Tier 2 precincts.
The process could influence future housing density, development and transport planning in these centres.
