Revitalising the Budgewoi Town Centre

Wyong Shire Council has taken the first step towards revitalising the Budgewoi town centre, with a detailed draft Masterplan now on public exhibition outlining some of the proposed changes to the iconic coastal town.

“The Masterplan aims to promote Budgewoi as a casual, relaxed lake and coastal village with a real focus on community recreation, leisure and the wonderful natural environment.”

Some of the improvements that are earmarked for the area include:

• A boardwalk along the waterfront adjoining Budgewoi circle
• A floating pontoon boardwalk
• The East Village Community Plaza – providing a public space with tables and chairs and formalised car parking
• Village link which will link the west centre with the east centre including a shared path from Halekulani Oval all the way to Podgewoy Park, including the pedestrian cyclist bridge across the Budgewoi Creek.
• The West Village Community Plaza
• Upgrade of facilities at Halekulani Oval
• Relocation of the Skate Park to Slade Park
• New shared pathways.

“Council staff have worked with the community and together have come up with a number of positive suggestions that will improve the town centre area for residents and tourists,” Mayor Eaton said.

“I encourage all residents to view the draft Masterplan document and provide their feedback.

“We are committed to ensuring Budgewoi becomes a destination that can be enjoyed by a new generation of holiday makers, and a place that residents are proud to call their home.”
