Wamberal, New South Wales

Wamberal (/ˈwɒmbərəl/) is a coastal suburb of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia, just north of Terrigal.

The main thoroughfare through the suburb is the Central Coast Highway through the north and south, previously known as The Entrance Road.

Since 2008, the roadway has undergone developments at an estimated cost of A$100  million into a four-lane dual carriageway from Matcham to the north end of the suburb.

Wamberal has small clusters of high-end cafes, restaurants and boutique stores dotted along the beachfront strip, Ocean View Drive, and on nearby streets.

Wamberal also has a Country Club, "Breakers", commemorating ANZAC efforts; its amenities include a golf course, bowling green and tennis facilities in addition to a brasserie and various bars with gambling outlets.

[1] The prestige of Wamberal's property has increased dramatically in recent years largely due to leafy and family-friendly streets, shrinking availability of land, and the suburb's proximity to local amenities including public transport, commercial and industrial areas, and education while remaining distant.

This shift may also be due to the redevelopment of local amenities such as playgrounds and community spaces such as parks, some of which were initiated under the Nation Building Scheme of the Rudd Government's Economic Stimulus Policy.
