Umina Mall plans on display
Plans are underway to redevelop the Umina Mall site on the corner of Lone Pine Ave and Ocean Beach Rd, Umina.
A development application has been made by Laundy Exhibition Pty Ltd to develop the site into a mixed commercial, retail and residential facility.
The development application for the new Lone Pine Plaza will be on public exhibition at Woy Woy Library until September 16.
Umina Chamber president Ms Sharon Martin welcomed the development application and said it looked "promising" as part of the future growth and development of the Umina district.
"The old Umina Mall has been an eye-sore for locals and visitors for a long time, doing nothing for the image of our district," Ms Martin said.
"We support a tasteful redevelopment that caters for the needs of local businesses and residents and improves the look of our local area, especially being positioned at the gateway to Umina on Ocean Beach Rd.
"The development application shows an attractive shopping plaza which aims to be accessible to both the broader population and the high numbers of elderly folk in the area, including residents of Peninsula Village.
"The proposed redevelopment includes a medical centre, chemist, fruit and vegetable store, butcher, bakery, hairdresser, newsagent, takeaway and pizza shops, real estate, general store and bottle shop.
"And importantly, it includes parking for over 100 cars, plus bicycle parking, residential management accommodation and provision for 24-hour surveillance of the complex.
"I encourage interested locals to view the development application on display at the Woy Woy Library and make public comment before it goes back to council."
