Acquisition of Land for Warnervale Airport Site

25/06/2026
A significant step in the establishment of Warnervale Airport occurred in November 1978 when Wyong Shire Council sought approval to subdivide land on Sparks Road, Warnervale, so that part of the property could be acquired for the airport site. The proposal was placed on public exhibition, allowing community members to review plans and lodge comments before a decision was made.
