2025-26 CENTRAL COAST INVESTMENT PROSPECTUS 33 Newcastle Tuggerah 40kms 60kms 80kms Gosford Woy Woy Sydney Wollongong Access to markets - Logistics Sydney’s Central Coast has the advantage of being located just outside the Sydney metropolitan area allowing distributors and logistics companies the opportunity to access the city, Port Botany, Sydney Airport or bypass altogether via Sydney’s extensive motorway network. The Central Coast is located midway between Sydney and Newcastle, being centrally located within about 2 hours driving time of a population of around 5.5 million people. Both cities provide a springboard to all Australian state capitals and the international market. Distribution and logistics is a major factor when deciding where to site a new warehouse. The Central Coast is one of the very few locations in Australia providing optimum cost benefits in terms of market access and distribution due to its proximity to two of the state’s largest markets – Sydney and Newcastle. The M1 Pacific Motorway runs north-south through the Central Coast and is part of the road corridor that links the major eastern seaboard cities and towns from Sydney to Brisbane. Key industrial areas are located adjacent to the three access points to the region, at Somersby, Tuggerah and Warnervale. In addition, the Central Coast is halfway between Brisbane and Melbourne, around 950 kms which is approximately 10 to 11 hours truck driving time putting it within the legal driving limit of twelve hours. Port Botany and Sydney Airport is about 100 kilometres or 90 minutes’ drive depending on traffic to Tuggerah on the M1 Pacific Motorway exit. Many companies, both global and national, are seeing the logistics advantages of locating their warehousing and distribution facilities in the region. National and global companies that have based their distribution operations on the Central Coast include: • Scholastic Australia's head office and warehouse complex at Lisarow, • Hatchette Australia operate a national book distribution centre at Tuggerah Business Park. • Pure Fishing Australia – national distribution centre based in Tuggerah Business Park, • Husqvarna in Tuggerah Business Park, • Garden City Products, Somersby • Woolworths Limited operate a $100 million Distribution Centre at Warnervale. Interstate carriers Star Track Express, Border Express and Toll IPEC operate modern terminals in the region and offer overnight services to Melbourne and Brisbane.
