The Central Coast Council Administrator was asked on December 14 to support the realignment of the suburb boundary between Berkeley Vale, Glenning Valley, and Fountaindale, including house renumbering of Torrellia Way.
Residents of three suburbs are expected to have 28 days from February to comment on changes to their boundaries which might see some addresses change.
It was expected he would agree to the rationalisation of the suburb boundaries of Berkeley Vale, Glenning Valley and Fountaindale due to changes to the lot and road networks through recent subdivisions.
Central Coast Council said in a report to the Administrator that the re-addressing of Torrellia Way would ensure clear, consistent and compliant street numbering.
Re-numbering will also assist with the timely location of these properties for service providers and emergency services, the report said.
Multiple property owners and residents have contacted Council to request the boundary review and readdressing of Torrellia Way.
The changes would affect about 150 homes.
Each property owner will be provided a letter with their proposed address.
The 150 properties are proposed to be incorporated into the suburb of Glenning Valley from the neighbouring suburbs of Berkeley Vale and Fountaindale.
They include properties within the Glades Estate currently located in the suburb of Berkeley Vale; properties located south of Blade Close and Enterprise Drive, which will enable the suburb boundary to clearly follow the main road centreline of Enterprise Drive; properties currently within the suburb of Fountaindale (Lot 101 DP 1112621, Lot 501 DP 1134328, Lot 502 DP 1134328, Lot 503 DP 1134328, Lot 4 DP 1200585, Lot 1 DP 1200585, Lot 95 DP 755263 (Crown Land).
In 2009 a rezoning proposal known and referenced as The Glenning Valley Planning Proposal was submitted to Council for approval.
Although some properties in the new subdivisions are in the suburb of Berkeley Vale, the development known as The Glades Estate, was marketed and sold as being within the suburb of Glenning Valley.
Council said it has subsequently received multiple submissions from the developer and property owners requesting the realignment of the Glenning Valley suburb boundary to incorporate all properties within the Glades Estate development.
In addition to the community sentiment, the existing suburb boundary is based on previous subdivisions and no longer relevant to the current road and lot patterns.
The boundary is not compliant with NSW Addressing requirements and is causing confusion for residents as the exact boundary location is not easy to determine.
Three streets within The Glades Estate are contained in both the Glenning Valley and Berkeley Vale suburb boundaries: Sandalwood Close, White Fig Drive and Torrellia Way.
The lots surrounding Blade Close have not been included in the redefinition as this land is zoned industrial and contextually relates to other land in Berkeley Vale.
Following the consultation period and approval of the Council, the suburb boundary proposal will be submitted to the Geographical Names Board for approval.
