Tuggerah Gateway Planning Proposal
Central Coast Council has prepared a Planning Proposal for Lot 2 DP1056960 68 Tonkiss Street, Tuggerah and Lot 3 DP1084221, 60 Wyong Road, Tuggerah. The Planning Proposal seeks to amend the Central Coast Local Environmental Plan (CCLEP) 2022 to:
- Rezone the majority of the site to R1 General Residential
- Retain the existing MU1 Mixed Use zone in the north east of the site
- Retain the existing C2 Environmental Conservation zone in the south east of the site with a slight expansion to the zone boundaries
- Rezone a small portion in the north west of the site and along the northern property boundary to C2 Environmental Conservation.
The Planning Proposal seeks to create a new residential community to support the existing Tuggerah Town Centre with a range of low, medium and higher-density housing options to meet future housing demand. The new residential development will be supported by the retention of the existing MU1 Mixed Use zone to provide for a range of employment, retail, recreation, community and entertainment land uses on the site.
The site forms the gateway to the northern Central Coast and has been identified as a development opportunity site in numerous strategic planning documents including the Central Coast Regional Plan (CCRP) 2041 and Tuggerah to Wyong Economic Corridor Strategy (2020).
The Planning Proposal is supported by a new site-specific draft Central Coast Development Control Plan (CCDCP) Chapter 4.7 – Tuggerah Regional City. To ensure no overlap of provisions the existing CCDCP Chapter 5.3 - Tuggerah Precinct has been amended to remove any reference to the subject site.
A draft Voluntary Planning Agreement (VPA) has been entered into that details additional works in kind to support the proposed development including a District Recreation Park, new Youth Centre and Regional dedicated shared pathway.
The Planning Proposal is supported by a number of studies and investigations including a draft Biodiversity Certification Assessment Report (BCAR) to avoid, minimise and offset any potential impacts of the proposed development on biodiversity values.
The draft Planning Proposal and supporting documents, including the draft DCP, VPA and BCAR, are on exhibition and available to view in the Document Library on this page. The community are also invited to read the FAQs below for more information on the proposal.
The Planning Proposal and supporting documentation are on exhibition between 17 April and 31 May 2024.
