Site preparation work is underway with the Construction Stage awaiting Council Approval.
Completed work: Demolition and Site Remediation are now complete.
In August, fencing between the construction site and neighbouring properties was replaced in cooperation with landowners.
In August, removal of overgrown and low retention value trees, and a limited number of more established trees, were approved under DA/869/2026 with Central Coast Council. 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. The 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.
From June to August 2026, two buildings and the old school toilet block (that had fallen into disrepair and were no longer fit for purpose) were demolished and removed. The school engaged Combined Demolition Services, based at Terrigal, to manage the safe and certified removal of hazardous material, including asbestos located in the old buildings. All reusable and recyclable material was extracted from the site to be repurposed.
