 For
more than a century people have been visiting Catherine Hill
Bay and writing about it in terms of magnificent views, picturesque
locations, interesting pub, a great surfing beach and healthy
air invigorated by sea breezes.
Catherine Hill Bay is unique in New South Wales. A coastal
village of about 100 houses it is located approximately 100km
north of Sydney on the Wallarah Peninsula, which lies between
Lake Macquarie and the Pacific Ocean.
The village - two tiny settlements about 1km apart - consists
mostly of modest timber miners' cottages, some dating from
the 19th Century and remnant infrastructure from almost 140
years of underground coal mining, set in a dramatic natural
landscape of bush and heath beside the Pacific Ocean.
The Bay remains beautiful and welcoming, yet its heritage
as a company coal mining town includes hardship and a long
struggle to maintain its distinctive community identity, most
recently in the face of large scale coastal development which
would destroy the unique character and environment of this
special place.
A coastal land developer wants to develop a plan for 600
houses at Catherine Hill Bay. Basically imposing a large suburb
or new coastal town on this special
place.
