Mingara Leisure Group is planning to build a $19M five-storey hotel at its Tumbi Umbi site.
The proposed 86-room hotel will be integrated with the existing Mingara Recreation Club at 14 Mingara Dr as well as complementing existing facilities such as cafes and restaurants, the Mingara Regional Athletics Centre and track, aquatic centre, fitness and wellness centre.
The hotel will comprise a main lobby, lounge area, guest laundry, luggage room, administration office and service rooms.
Total floor area will be almost 4,000sq m, with the ground level at 458sq m, level one at 822sq m and each of levels 2, 3 and 4 at 886sq m.
The site is zoned RE2 Private Recreation under Wyong Local Environmental Plan 2013 which does not specify a maximum building height for the site.
A traffic and parking assessment by Intersect Traffic Pty Ltd concluded that the proposed hotel development would not adversely impact on the local and state road network or the current intersections at the entry/exit to the site.
However, the report noted that with expected future growth in the area Wyong Rd would reach capacity before 2032 and Transport for NSW would need to look at some upgrading or network improvements in the near future to maintain acceptable traffic flow along this section of the road network.
“It is understood TfNSW is currently undertaking a strategic review of its Central Coast road network and it would be expected that the review would include this part of the road network,” the assessment report stated.
A development application (935/2022) has been lodged with Central Coast Council and submissions will be received until May 9.
