Surburb overview

Long Jetty is a lakeside suburb on the NSW Central Coast about 94–97 kilometres by road from the Sydney CBD via the M1 and Central Coast Highway. It lies roughly 20–21 kilometres from Gosford’s CBD by road, with regular bus links operating along the corridor.

The 2021 ABS Census recorded 6,736 residents with a median age of 45, indicating a mature age profile compared with the national median.

Local buses operated by Red Bus CDC connect Long Jetty with Gosford, Tuggerah, and Wyong, and intercity trains connect Long Jetty with Sydney and Newcastle.

Direct buses between Gosford and Long Jetty typically run every 15 minutes and take about 33–36 minutes in regular traffic. Services also run frequently to neighbouring Bateau Bay and The Entrance, supporting short local trips for shopping and services.

Daily needs are met in The Entrance town centre and at Bateau Bay Square on Bay Village Road, which is anchored by major supermarkets and dozens of specialty retailers. Regional-scale retail and employment are accessible at Westfield Tuggerah via bus or a short drive west along Wyong Road.

Health services include the Long Jetty Healthcare Centre on Wyong Road in adjoining Killarney Vale, with acute care delivered at Wyong and Gosford hospitals.

Education options are distributed across the Tuggerah Lakes network and are accessible by local bus services running along The Entrance Road and Central Coast Highway.

Recreation focuses on the Tuggerah Lakes foreshore and the off-road Tuggerah Lakes Cycleway, a scenic shared path of about 12 kilometres from The Entrance to Chittaway Bay that passes through Long Jetty.

Long Jetty’s namesake comes from three historic timber jetties on the lake—Parry’s Jetty, Watkins Jetty and The Long Jetty—which provide fishing spots and viewpoints.

Nearby ocean beaches at Toowoon Bay and Shelly Beach sit within a short drive for patrolled swimming and surf breaks across the warmer months.

Residential streets are predominantly low-rise with detached housing, and the suburb’s main spine along Central Coast Highway links neighbourhood pockets to retail, health and transport hubs across the Central Coast.

Proximity to Gosford’s rail hub, established bus corridors and lakeside and coastal recreation shape a suburb oriented to local amenity and regional commuting.
