Killcare Suburb Overview

Killcare is a south-eastern suburb of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia, located on the Bouddi Peninsula. It is part of the City of Gosford local government area.

Prior to the arrival of European Settlement, Aboriginals from the coastal Guringai tribe lived in and around Hardys Bay area. Evidence is to be found today in rock carvings and middens found in numerous locations around the area. After British settlement the area was established as a fishing and farming community. The name probably originated later as it was subdivided early last century as “killing one’s cares”.

The Killcare area encompasses both the beach and bay side of the Bouddi Peninsula and is flanked by the Bouddi National Park. Killcare retains a small fishing village atmosphere centred around the Killcare Store. The village has an unusually broad variety of shops including yacht charters, art gallery, hairdresser, fashion boutique, restaurant and cafes and real estate agents. Killcare Marina has permanent moorings.

The area has a strong community with many associations including the new Pretty Beach Community Pre-School and Pretty Beach Public School at neighbouring Pretty Beach. The neighbouring suburb Hardys Bay encompasses the south sector of the bay where the Community Church and the Hardys Bay RSL Club are located. The RSL hosts a series of local clubs including the fishing club and the Fridget Digits winter swimmers.

Killcare is also home to the Killcare Rural Fire Service . The volunteer brigade services the surrounding suburbs and the Bouddi National Park, conducting controlled back burning and a wide variety of safety and hazard prevention activities.

Killcare beach is a beautiful south facing beach that looks over to the northern beaches of Sydney. The beach is home to Killcare Surf Lifesaving Club , built in the 1930s, rebuilt in 1973, and then completely demolished and built again in 2009 as a modern state-of-the-art facility, and conducts beach patrols during weekends and public holidays in the summer season. The club has memberships for patrolling adults, children’s nippers, youth rookies and associate supporting members. Putty Beach is the Northern end of the beach.

Large scale rutile mining took place over the hill at Putty and Killcare beaches in the 1960s and stripped the beach of its large sand dunes and destroyed many native plants, molluscs and animals. Miners had agreed to revegetate the area which they did with the noxious pest bitou bush , which the various land care groups are now trying to eradicate.

Over the last 30 years property values in the area have reached into the millions of dollars as it is a prime location for holiday houses and retirement, like many other coastal areas within close proximity of a major city.

This pressure to develop has seen many fibro cottages demolished and replaced with million dollar weekenders. Some heritage sites, including the Ferry Masters cottage at Wagstaffe have been illegally demolished and developed despite council attempts to prevents this;prosecution of the developers was unsuccessful due to a technicality.

In late 2007 a scheme to develop the existing marina was presented to the community by the Marina’s CEO, Michael Sparks. This $13 million development would see the existing marina as well as the historic Hardys Bay wharf replaced by a much larger structure containing: 100 car parks over the water;an increase in the number of berths from 23 to 100;additional retail, cafe and restaurant space;as well as providing a 7 day a week boat maintenance facility. Additionally, any applications for new or upgraded marinas must include the provision of a 24 hour sewerage pump-out facility. .

Sparks also advised that this marina project application would circumvent the local council approval process and utilise what is called the Part 3A method of approval. This is a reference to the new provision in the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act which reduces the involvement of the community in the original decision making process. The decision makers for applications made by marinas under this law are the Minister for Planning and Director General, Department of Planning. While the developers maintain that there will be little environmental impact, a stand of Grey Mangroves will have to be removed to make way for the structure, and degradation of the beds of sea grasses is also possible.
