About Point Clare
Point Clare is a residential suburb (postcode 2250) located on the western shore of Brisbane Water in the Central Coast region of New South Wales, within the Central Coast Council local government area. The suburb is characterized by its hilly topography, which provides elevated views across the estuary, and its proximity to the Tasman Sea. The area is home to families and professionals who commute to larger regional hubs or Sydney.
The suburb is serviced by the Point Clare railway station on the Main Northern line, facilitating transport links to Gosford and Sydney. Local amenities include a small commercial precinct, Point Clare Public School, and various waterfront parks and boat ramps that support recreational activities such as fishing and sailing. The area is largely residential, with its infrastructure integrated into the broader suburban network of the Brisbane Water district.
Historically, the area was part of the traditional lands of the Guringai people before European settlement in the early 19th century. The name Point Clare originated from early colonial land grants. The area developed steadily throughout the 20th century alongside the expansion of the regional railway. While the suburb has undergone significant residential development, it retains a link to its past through its maritime landscape and the preservation of its natural waterfront environment.
