Surburb overview

Chittaway Point is a small lakeside suburb on the NSW Central Coast about 89 kilometres by road from the Sydney CBD via the M1 and Wyong Road. It sits roughly 20 kilometres from Gosford’s CBD, connected by Wyong Road and arterial links across the Tuggerah Lakes corridor.

The 2021 ABS Census counted 947 residents with a median age of 44, and households averaged 2.7 people. Separate houses dominate the dwelling stock, accounting for about 97 per cent of occupied homes, reinforcing a low-rise residential character.

Local buses link the peninsula to Tuggerah and Wyong, with intercity train services to Sydney and Newcastle, and school-day services starting within Chittaway Point.

Commuters typically connect at Tuggerah Station for NSW TrainLink services, combining short bus trips with rail for metropolitan travel.

Daily shopping needs concentrate at Westfield Tuggerah on Wyong Road and at Bateau Bay Square to the south-east, both within a short drive.

Health care is accessible at regional hospitals in Wyong and Gosford, supported by medical and allied services clustered around Tuggerah and Berkeley Vale.

The suburb fronts Tuggerah Lake and offers direct foreshore access for walking, fishing and paddling from local reserves and boat ramps.

The Tuggerah Lakes Cycleway runs along the southern edge of the lakes from The Entrance to Chittaway Bay, providing a flat, off-road shared path within minutes of local streets.

Residents reach ocean beaches such as Shelly Beach and Bateau Bay by short road trips for patrolled swimming and surf breaks.

Open spaces and neighbourhood parks line the lakefront, offering picnic spots, playgrounds, and vantage points for sunset views across the water.

Family households account for the majority of occupied dwellings, with a notable share of couple households without children reflecting the suburb’s mature-age profile.

Road access focuses on Wyong Road as the principal east–west connector to the M1 interchange, Tuggerah retail precincts and employment areas.

Proximity to rail at Tuggerah, major shopping at Westfield, and lakefront recreation underpins a residential community oriented to both local amenity and regional commuting.
