Oh theHE backers of a $500 million Chinese cultural theme park proposed for a site near Wyong say they are close to lodging a development application.
On Monday they released a new video animation showing their plans for the 15-hectare site at Warnervale.
An application to build the first stage of the park is expected to be lodged within weeks, but the plans revealed on Monday show it will include a ‘Thanksgiving Temple’ which comprises three main buildings and statues.
The broader plan comprises 12 individual areas including a meridian gate, treasure ship, arts and crafts workshop and even a ‘panda paradise’ themed area.
“It is incredibly exciting to get to the stage of lodging a development application and to see the sheer scale of the project,” Wyong mayor Doug Eaton said.
“I’ve truly never seen anything like this before – it’s going to blow people away when they watch the video and get a sense of how big and imaginative this concept really is and what it can do in terms of tourism for our shire.
“The developers have long been telling us that this theme park will be up there with the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge in terms of tourist attractions and I’ve got to hand it to them – it’s absolutely in that category.’’
To be called Chappypie China Time, the proponent Australia-China Theme Park Pty Ltd says its aim is to integrate Chinese culture, nature and spirit into the ambitious project. They hope to open the park’s first stage in 2016.
Wyong council sold the company the land, adjacent to Warnervale airport, in 2012 for $10 million.
“The mayor of Wyong Shire Council was willing to back us when no one else would,” company CEO Bruce Zhong said.
“The mayor understands Chinese culture and the need for local government involvement in terms of attracting Chinese investment and now the results are in for everyone to see.”
I take it this is going next to the airport they want also???
I had no idea two chinese restaurants on the coast meant they were the cultural Chinese hub for NSW.....

Central Coast Mariners' use of their home ground may be in jeopardy just six weeks out from the start of the season because of outstanding bills of about $300,000 for unpaid loans and venue rental fees.
The Mariners' opening day derby against Newcastle Jets on October 11 could be under threat as it is understood the A-League club has been warned by the venue's owner, Gosford City Council, that the gates will not be opened until all debts have been repaid, some of which were accumulated under previous administrations.
The club owes the council about $100,000 in unpaid stadium rental fees and is negotiating another sum of about $200,000. The outstanding rental fees were accumulated over the course of last season and, while the club has agreed to a payment plan to clear the debt by October 30, senior officials have been warned they may be denied the right to hire the venue until the debts are repaid. The Mariners purchased the scoreboard with financial assistance from the council in 2008 but are still yet to repay the full amount believed to be close to $200,000.
Mariners chief executive Bruce Stalder said the club is confident of repaying the full amount before the start of the season and is working closely with Gosford City Council to find a solution. "The club was helped by the council in getting the screen together," Stalder said. "We haven't concluded our side of paying it back or worked out how we want to use it in the future. We have to finish this and resolve the matter."
The Mariners are also set to hand over the licence of their youth academy to the local football association following a disagreement over how the program was run from a technical standard and $38,332 of mostly registration fees owed to Football NSW. Central Coast Football applied for the licence of the Central Coast Mariners Youth Academy, which plays in the NSW Premier League 2, and reached an agreement with the club to repay the Mariners' outstanding bills.
CCF chairman Darren Sprod said: "We signed a heads of agreement with Central Coast Mariners to run our program this year and we've now cancelled the agreement. We're about to sign an agreement to repay the debts outstanding and we're taking back the program.
"We are really supportive of [new Mariners coach] Phil Moss and the team. Our angle is to develop youth on the central coast and we tried a model this year and it didn't work. We hope to work in conjunction with the Mariners looking forward." The two parties had disagreements over funding provisions including a $175,000 pledge withheld by Central Coast Football. Stalder admitted there were some errors in the management of the program that occurred during the transition of leadership at the club and says the matter will be resolved soon.
"We as a club certainly made some mistakes with the delivery of that program," Stalder said. "We've had nothing but a sincere attempt to resolve the issues but it wasn't in time. To say the model doesn't work is a fairly large jump. It's endorsed by the FFA (Football Federation Australia) and it's certainly a strong model ... We'll have a very good resolution."
I wonder if the rent is cheaper at North Sydney Oval...
Just lost to Sydney Olympic 3-1

Patrick Zwaanswijk suing Central Coast Mariners over wrongful dismissal in June
By Mary-Louise Vince
Former Central Coast Mariners marquee Patrick Zwaanswijk is taking legal action against the A-League club for wrongful dismissal.
Former Dutch first division player Zwaanswijk had a three-year contract with the Mariners until his retirement in May 2013, when he was re-employed as head of youth and community football.
The Mariners are accused of terminating his position in June, 13 months into a three-year contract.
Zwaanswijk's lawyer Peter Moore said his client is now seeking almost $250,000 in lost earnings, as well as damages for breach of contract and loss of reputation.
"He is now not in receipt of the remuneration that was promised, which included superannuation, car, laptop computer and other benefits," he said.
"He had settled himself in on the basis that he didn't need to find any other employment because he had this position pursuant to the contract for three years.
"One year into the contract the club makes this decision by itself and he then has to find other employment, that's what he's looking for at this point in time."
Mr Moore says negotiations between the two parties have broken down and if the matter cannot be resolved, it will go to court.
The former defender played a crucial role in the club's grand final victory in 2012-13, scoring the opening goal in the 2-0 win over the Western Sydney Wanderers.
Zwaanswijk argues he has suffered loss, and continues to suffer loss and damage.
The statement of claim was lodged with Gosford District Court late last week.
The ABC has contacted the Mariners but has been told the chief executive is currently unable to comment.

AFTER storming into the Mariners dressingroom and throwing his boots to the floor, Malick Mane told his Central Coast teammates exactly what he thought of them — “you’re s. t”.
