Suburb of Greater Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia
Windale is a suburb of the city of Lake Macquarie ,[5] in the Newcastle metropolitan area. It is located west of the junction of the Pacific Highway and Newcastle Inner City Bypass , covering an area of 1.7 km 2 (0.7 sq mi ).[3] [8] Windale is a lower socio-economic area consisting largely of public housing homes, and has historically been known for its high rates of alcoholism , crime and unemployment, however recent local government efforts to regenerate the area have been somewhat successful.[9] [10] The suburb was listed as one of the most socially disadvantaged areas in the State according to the 2015 Dropping Off The Edge report.[11]
History
[ edit ]
