Swansea and Surrounds
It’s the place where the lake meets the ocean. Where people flock to take in the water vistas, enjoy the beach and lake foreshores, or to explore the local bushland. There is already a higher concentration of accommodation and active tourism operators in this area compared to other key areas, making this the prime location for leveraging existing economic and natural landscapes to become the City’s tourism hub. Bordered by the lake and ocean, parts of this area will also experience change as we ensure it adapts appropriately to mitigate risks of flooding and sea level rise.
Caves Beach Centre and Tourism Precinct
Further development occurs at Caves Beach local centre to support a broader mix of uses and to facilitate a tourism hub
Tourism providers, including accommodation and recreational opportunities, capitalise on its proximity to the lake, foreshore parks, beaches and bushland
Swansea
- Adaptation planning determines the opportunities for the suburbs from Belmont South to Swansea, as these are likely to be significantly affected by the impacts of climate change, particularly sea level rise. Council will continue to work with these communities so they can adapt to changes in the natural environment
- Any new development responds to the effects of anticipated climate change and sea level rise which will significantly affect the centre and other parts of Swansea
- Sea level rise adaption and evacuation planning shape the future nature of the urban area while seeking to maintain the key functional components that are important to the community
Lake Macquarie Airport Precinct
Further use and expansion of the existing airport occurs, including the co-location of associated aviation and tourism industries
Sea level rise adaption and biodiversity conservation will shape the future character and opportunities of the airport
Catherine Hill Bay
- Sensitive development occurs within the State heritage-listed conservation area whilst retaining its character
- As the already approved development occurs, Catherine Hill Bay may require a local centre to support the daily needs of residents
- Urban areas are linked with each other, the beach and recreational trails in the National Park
- Tourism opportunities develop and become a feature of the area
