A prominent site at the intersection of Terrigal Drive and Charles Kay Drive in Terrigal is poised for transformation with a new planning proposal to upzone the site.

If approved, the 4,262sqm triangular lot, currently zoned R1 General Residential, sits vacant but could become a mixed-use hub, combining housing and retail amenities.

The key objectives of the rezoning include:

Increase Building Height: The proposal seeks to raise the maximum building height from 8.5m to 25m, allowing for more vertically oriented structures to better utilise the site.
Expand Floor Space Ratio: The proposal requests an increase in the FSR from 0.5:1 to 1.3:1, which would allow for a denser development, unlocking additional floor area for residential and commercial use.
Enable Retail Premises: To serve the surrounding community, the proposal includes plans for a 150sqm retail space. This retail offering is expected to enhance convenience for local residents while supporting the area’s growth as a vibrant urban hub.

Prominent 4,262sqm corner site

The corner of Terrigal Drive and Charles Kay Drive is seen as a critical juncture for the region’s growth, given its visibility and connectivity. By revitalising this vacant lot, the project will serve as a key site for those entering Terrigal.

The site’s immediate context includes a mix of low-density residential development, predominantly in the form of townhouses and detached dwellings, Terrigal High School, Duffys Oval and a range of sporting fields.
