Future housing stock in the northern suburbs is forging ahead with yet another three subdivision proposals for about 150 new homes.
The latest subdivisions in a steady flow over recent times presented to Central Coast Council are at 25-31 Railway Rd, Warnervale; 60 Jensen Rd, Wadalba and 109 Minnesota Rd at Hamlyn Terrace.
The largest of the three subdivision proposals is for 86 housing sites and an environmental conservation zone at 60 and 70 Jensen Rd, Wadalba.
An existing dwelling at number 70, classified as a heritage item, will remain and a larger lot surrounding it will be created for its protection.
A collector road through the development will be a future bus route and all internal roads within this new subdivision are designed to connect with future developments on adjoining land parcels at 110 and 90/100 Jensen Rd which are also currently being assessed by Council.
A local park and shared pathways are also planned for the subdivision with plans on public exhibition (DA 3426) and submissions closing on Friday, January 20.
Malonga Holdings (Aust) Pty Ltd is planning to convert its 1.497ha landholding at Warnervale into 22 home sites in a range of sizes from 450sqm through to 706sqm.
The development application says it will be progress similarly to adjoining residential subdivisions with integrated roads and footpaths, including an extension of Honey Myrtle Dr from west to east and construction of a new road connecting Railway Rd in the south, however, there will be no access to Sparks Rd.
This development application (number 2020) is on public exhibition for community feedback until Friday, January 13.
A subdivision over 5.96ha at 109 Minnesota Rd, Hamlyn Terrace is the first stage of bigger plans also incorporating 121 Minnesota Rd.
This land parcel was previously a poultry farm and orchard and the first stage in its development is to subdivide 41 housing lots ranging in size from 450sqm to 707.6sqm as well as a 2.5ha C2 environmental conservation zone.
The C2 land, which likely will be transferred to Council, is considered integral to the restoration of Porters Creek floodplain and would provide a buffer between the residential land and floodplain.
Community feedback on this development application (3743) is open until Monday, January 30.
