Description/context

The Warriewood Valley land release area is an infill development area occupying a large outer urban site. The 110 hectare site is located in Sydneys Northern Beaches area, approximately 24 kilometres from the CBD. The site lies to the west of Pittwater Road and south of Mona Vale Road. The established suburbs of Mona Vale, North Narrabeen and Elanora Heights lie to the north east, south and south-west respectively. The site is surrounded by high-value natural open space, including a forested escarpment to the west, and Warriewood Wetlands and Narrabeen Lakes to the south.

Development on the Warriewood Valley site will be a mix of residential and light industrial/commercial uses. The housing forms being provided include traditional, single detached housing on individual lots, attached dwellings, multi-unit housing, integrated housing, and a development for seniors or people with a disability, which consists of 260 apartments, a community centre and a 119 bed residential aged care centre.

It is expected that development in the valley will add around 1,900 dwellings and 5,300 additional residents to the Pittwater Local Government Area by 2012.
