Yattalunga, New South Wales
Yattalunga is a south-eastern suburb of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. It is located approximately six kilometres south-east of the city of Gosford[2] and is part of the Central Coast Council local government area. In the 2021 census, Yattalunga had a population of 580 people.[1] HistoryIn January 1994, a study was conducted on the area's drainage "to determine future land uses in consideration of the sensitive local environment".[2] The report concluded that a number of constraints may limit development of the land, such as flooding. However, the report did state some areas where residential lots would be viable.[2] In 2014, Gosford City Council rejected an application for the construction of a Woolworths in the area due to the proximity of other supermarkets, the need for rezoning of conserved bushland, and the significant pressure it would place on local businesses.[3] DemographicsIn the 2011 census, Yattalunga recorded a population of 527 people, 50.7% female and 49.3% male with 2.6% being Indigenous Australian.
