With the population of Warnervale and surrounding suburbs expected to nearly double over the next two decades, Council is actively taking steps to ensure that future development is both responsible and sustainable for residents and the environment. 

It is anticipated that nearly 57,000 people will call Warnervale home by 2041. Council’s draft Greater Warnervale Structure Plan helps the community identify the long-term vision and principles that will guide land use planning in the area.  

Council’s Director of Environment and Planning, Alice Howe, said the Draft Plan is important to help future-proof the community’s needs.

“We want Greater Warnervale to grow in a sustainable way by allowing for future growth to occur in a manner that does not compromise the attributes that make our community a desirable place to live,” said Dr Howe.

“Although this is a long-term project, it’s important we take the steps now to understand what facilities will be required to ensure development in Warnervale meets future community needs.”

There are several ways the community can have their say on the Draft Plan, including attending a public information session at Lake Haven Library or making a submission online.

Council Administrator, Rik Hart is hoping residents participate in the process. 

“We want the community to share local knowledge that can be used to better shape the region to meet future needs,” said Mr Hart.

“Council is seeking feedback on community, education, and recreation facilities as well as environmental open space and connecting pathways that people would like to see in their area.”

The draft Greater Warnervale Structure Plan is currently on public exhibition, with Council accepting public submissions until 5pm on Friday 31 March 2023
