The Sydney Morning Herald, 29 November 1978, p. 24. “Shire of Wyong” public notice.
This public notice, published by the *Sydney Morning Herald* on 29 November 1978, documents one of the earliest known planning steps towards the establishment of Warnervale Airport. The notice records Wyong Shire Council’s proposal to amend Interim Development Order No. 58 to allow the subdivision of land on Sparks Road, Warnervale, enabling part of the property to be acquired for a future airport site.
Although only a statutory planning notice, the document demonstrates that the airport was already being considered through formal land-use planning and public consultation. Community members were invited to inspect the proposal and lodge submissions before a decision was made, illustrating the regulatory process that accompanied the airport’s early development.
Today, this notice represents an important milestone in the history of Warnervale Airport, marking the transition from concept to formal planning and providing valuable insight into the origins of one of the Central Coast’s key aviation facilities.
