This Place Vision will set the direction for our management of the Parklands, including improving the site for users and visitors, supporting leasing and development decisions and considering long-term outcomes. It has been prepared in line with the key principles of placemaking and will help us understand the needs of the people who live, work and play in the spaces. Mount Penang Place Vision (PDF) Pause Play The Gardens A regional attraction, and one of the Central Coast's iconic landmarks, Mount Penang Gardens boasts landscaped vistas that complement the heritage, character and setting of the Parklands. Mount Penang Gardens have been carefully designed to be full of character and thriving native flora, to be a place where the community can appreciate nature. Along with waterways and summer aquatic gardens, over 70% of the plants are native to Australia, and it's distinctive design sets the site apart from the traditional botanical garden. Individual gardens are set on and around a large sculptural plateau and walled spaces, abstract pergolas, fountains, ponds, cascades and a 35-metre cantilevered steel footbridge. The gardens are also home to the historical Wondabyne Sculptures that were carved from beautiful Gosford sandstone. The sculptures are a unique attraction - visited and enjoyed by thousands of people every year.

First name Last name Email Area of interest - Select -ALL - Hunter and Central CoastNewcastle and HunterCentral Coast I have read and understand the privacy policy We are undertaking essential infrastructure upgrades at Mount Penang that will improve road, water and sewerage services to the area. As well as beautifying the Parklands and improving traffic for users of the site, these works will enable future development, creating jobs and improving tourism and cultural facilities. The Parklands provides an exceptional opportunity for development as a specialist business park, leveraging off the light industrial uses in the vicinity, while celebrating and enhancing access to the unique heritage of the site. The lack of services in the Parklands has historically prevented private sector investment, and the opportunity for the site to reach its full potential. Works currently underway include upgrades to Baxter Track, and works will soon commence to extend and improve Parklands Road. Visit our current works page for details.
