About Wendoree Park

Wendoree Park is a small, secluded locality on the Central Coast of New South Wales, situated approximately 58 kilometres north of Sydney and 24 kilometres west of Gosford within the Central Coast Council area. Nestled on the east bank of Mangrove Creek at its confluence with the Hawkesbury River, the locality covers just over two square kilometres of riverine bushland and has a 2021 Census population of 131 residents. Originally conceived as a 'dream village' by landowner Athol Leeming Spring in the 1940s, Wendoree Park retains a deeply rural and off-the-grid character.

The locality's riverside setting between Mangrove Creek and the Hawkesbury River makes it a genuine retreat, with boating, fishing, and bushwalking central to the local lifestyle. Access to the area is limited by its waterway surrounds and the absence of through roads, preserving a quiet sense of isolation rare for a location so close to Sydney. Residents seeking daily amenities — shops, schools, and services — travel to Gosford or nearby townships such as Spencer, making a car or boat essential for everyday life.

Wendoree Park falls under postcode 2250 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the The Entrance electorate.
