History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The development of Warnervale was first undertaken by Albert Hamlyn Warner who in 1893 acquired of land in the area. Warner was probably one of the Wyong area's most notable residents and was strongly influenced by his travels in both Japan and the United States, which is today evidenced in road names in surrounding suburbs such as Minnesota, Virginia, Louisiana, Hiawatha and Nikko, as well as his family home which was named 'Hakone' after a park he had seen in Japan. Warnervale was first identified as a growth area in the Sydney Region Outline Plan in 1968.

Over time the area originally known as Warnervale has been gradually subdivided into a number of other suburbs, including Kanwal, Watanobbi, Hamlyn Terrace, Wadalba and Woongarrah. Once composed of large acreages and significant wetlands, the area has rapidly been developed into a series of residential estates, although none of these have yet been built within the suburb of Warnervale's boundaries. In 1988-9, American actor Matthew McConaughey resided in Warnervale for one year on exchange.
