Woolworths is trying to establish shopping centre of 9,800m2 on the corner of Avoca Drive and Davistown Road.
To enable that to occur Woolworths has applied to change the land from zoning scenic protection to B2 commercial
If this occurs the local lifestyle will be seriously impacted if not destroyed.
Scenic beauty of the entry to the Yattalunga Davistown and Saratoga peninsula will be lost forever.
Nearby homes will become home occupations and businesses.
The Avoca drive and Davistown intersection will become another commercial centre, much larger than Kincumber.
Gosford City Council rejected the Woolworths proposal at its meeting on 8 September 2014.
Woolworths has wasted no time in going to the Minister for Planning who has now agreed to allow the question of whether the rezoning proposal can proceed to be decided by the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP).

This development is ridiculous and objectionable on so many levels - environmental, traffic problems, loss of amenity, loss of habitat, etc. - but mostly at the the level of small established businesses being crushed by a behemoth. This is apparently what is meant when governments claim to be "open for business". Coda for big business. Politicians of all persuasions seem to need constant reminding that they represent the people and not those with the biggest piles of cash.
We do not need another shopping centre. We love our little village and do not want another large concrete over developed site at Yattalunga!
No Woolworths at Yattalunga. Already enough shops and will cause too much traffic congestion
NO WAY!
no woolworths at Yattalunga, we dont need it
How can scenic conservation land become commercial? Where is the public consultation?
NO WAY

I am strongly against having a woolworths at Yattalunga. The obvious reason is that within a 5km radius we have a Coles, Aldi, and Bi-Lo. Secondly, Davistown Rd will not be able to cope with the traffic this new store will bring. It struggles during the morning hours now as it is.
