Garden Suburb is a small semi-rural community in the City of Lake Macquarie local government area in the Greater Newcastle area in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located 2 kilometres East of Cardiff.

History

[edit]

The Aboriginal people in this area, the Awabakal, were the first people of this land.[2]

The first land grant was to James Peatie in August 1872. The street Peaties Road now carries his name.[3]

Another land grant was given to John Cherry in March 1876.[3]

The first subdivision occurred in 1918, encompassing Prospect Road, Park Road and Marshall Street. This appears to be the time the area was given the name 'Garden Suburb'.[3]

A post office opened in 1956 and the local primary school opened in 1958.[3]

The Forest Hills Estate was constructed between 1999 and 2005 in the South. The streets were named with a theme of flora.[citation needed]

The town had a post office and a convenience store, however these closed in 1987 and 2007, respectively.[citation needed]

Geography

[edit]

The town is surrounded by bushland, and can only be accessed from Myall Road. The area is hilly, with its highest point at 32°56′40S 151°40′53E / 32.94444°S 151.68139°E / -32.94444; 151.68139 at Prospect Road[4] and lowest point at Garden Suburb Creek.

Three creeks flow through the area:

Development Proposal

[edit]

Landcom Corporation proposed a 96-lot development in 2013, in the bushland near Myall Road. After initial objections, the project was shelved for several years.[5]

In 2020, the project was fast-tracked after the coronavirus pandemic, and approved in December 2020. The development was scaled back to 66-lots in January.[6]
