“Council News in Brief – Parties to Meet on Air Services” Central Coast Express Advocate, 17 October 1973
This article highlights the complex planning environment surrounding aviation development on the Central Coast during the early 1970s. Rather than focusing solely on the proposed Warnervale airstrip, Wyong Shire Council sought to bring together the State Planning Authority, Department of Civil Aviation, Central Coast Aero Club and the private developer to discuss the region’s broader aviation needs.
The report also reveals that the Central Coast Aero Club had formally objected to the rejection of its Warnervale airstrip proposal, demonstrating the club’s active involvement in shaping the future of local aviation. At the same time, concerns were being raised about a separate privately developed airstrip in Pollock Avenue and its potential impact on regional planning.
This article captures an important period when competing proposals, government agencies and aviation organisations were working to determine the long-term direction of air services in the Wyong district. It provides valuable insight into the collaborative—and sometimes conflicting—process that ultimately led to the development of Warnervale Airport.
