Watagan Central, anchored by Johnson Property Group in North Cooranbong, is set to be a key retail and commercial hub within Lake Macquarie's South West Growth Area. This 2.2-hectare site, designed for a vibrant mix of retail, commercial, and leisure activities, is strategically positioned for businesses aiming to capture a growing community. With a full-line supermarket confirmed, the centre is at the heart of the region's urban development and commercial expansion.
The area attracts a diverse mix, with a notable portion of the population holding tertiary qualifications, indicative of higher disposable incomes. Analysis supports a diverse tenant mix, including a full-line supermarket, mini-major tenants like a pharmacy, up to 23 specialty retailers, and non-retail amenities (pilates). The inclusion of Woolworths as a confirmed anchor tenant not only secures a cornerstone of daily foot traffic but also signals a strong market confidence in Watagan Park Town Centre.
The main trade area's population is projected to rise from 9,410 in 2022 to 17,510 by 2036. With the primary sector seeing a 4.7% annual growth.
This growth is supported by a diverse socioeconomic profile, indicating a mix of young families and retirees, both groups underserved in terms of high-quality retail options.*
Watagan Park currently has over 1,000 families living in the estate and will have 2,000 more families to come and purchase in the estate over the next 7 - 8 years.
The town centre serves a local resident population as well as tourists. The primary sector population is around 9,000 persons, with 10,500 persons across the main trade area.
Total retail expenditure within the main trade area is estimated at $151.8 million, projected to increase to $393.0 million by 2036.
The confirmation of Woolworths further enhances the centre's competitive edge, making it an even more appealing location for businesses targeting the area's growing population and increasing spending capacity.*
Offering 7,778 sqm of retail gross lettable area, the Town Centre is designed to accommodate a wide array of retail businesses including Woolworths and 23 speciality retailers.
