Suburb snapshot:
Morisset was a product of the railway, constructed in 1886.
Its first industries were sawmilling, and the building and functioning of the railway, with logs brought by bullock dray from surrounding areas, many from the Wattagan mountains.
In 1908, a psychiatric hospital opened on a large estate along the lake shore, surrounded by one of the seven areas that form the Lake Macquarie State Conservation Area. The site is now heritage-listed.
Morisset’s future however, looks bigger and brighter after its postcode welcomed a $100 million home estate and 94-berth marina in 2019.
If the community gives the green light to development, the address will also welcome a 5-star hotel, a 188-berth marina, 200 seat restaurant and bar, café, business centre, pool, day spa, gymnasium, car parking and public boardwalks.
It follows the $235 million redevelopment of Morisset Golf Course, to include the Cedar Mill Lake Macquarie, with plans for a 30,000-person concert venue, cafes and restaurants, accommodation and Australia’s largest aquatic play park.
