The project is currently in the Demolition and Site Remediation stage.
A DA was lodged with Central Coast Council on 11th June 2026 (DA/869/2026) regarding removal of overgrown and low retention value trees, and a limited number of more established trees. The DA refers to the site by its redundant name, The Grove Community and Cultural Hub, but specifies Wyong Christian Community School as the applicant. A total of 77 trees is proposed for removal; no individual tree is rated in excellent health and condition with four (4) assessed as dead and hazardous. Ten (10) trees recommended for removal fall within land gazetted by Transport NSW for intersection development at the junction of North Road and Pacific Highway. The majority of tree removal is proximal to the onsite driveway and carpark required for off-road parking and services at the site. Wyong Christian Community School proposes replanting 79 trees and 913 shrubs and groundcover plants to sufficiently offset any loss of amenity and biodiversity, and retain green canopy at the site.
