I have relatives (the outlaws/inlaws) in Umina beach and Woy Woy and a rental property at Blackwall. My Wife is from Woy Woy.
Umina is known as MtDruitt by the sea. Although there are some good streets in umina there is still a lot of dodgy ones. Avoid any street that will get drunks walking home from the pub. People cut through the lane ways so it can be tough to avoid these people.
People with a bit of money stick their kids on a train and send them to schools like Asquith.
The downside to everything great round here is the crime rate. Now in saying this, I have personally (Touch Wood) NEVER been the victim of anything and I go to Umina Beach every weekend and have been for the last 3 years. I do see some ferals ocassionally but I just ignore them. However, you cant ignore statistics. The NSW Police website shows that the area has the same sort of crime rate as when you go west past Parramatta in Sydney etc. Personally I have found it to be much less intense than Mount Druitt where you cant drive through the town centre or train station at night without seeing something, also there is also almost no housing commission left anywhere on the peninsula (Check Census Stats) outside of a large cluster near the railway at Woy Woy, but obviously the name is there for a reason.
Ettalong and Booker Bay on the peninsula are rapidly changing and are very nice places to live. Umina is getting the spillover and is starting to change itself and personally I find Blackwall quite nice. Really avoiding the area around Woy Woy town centre and the housing commission parts of Woy Woy should be ok.
I will also add that I live on a main road (McMasters Road in Woy Woy) and luckily we dont cop the drunks on their way home from a bender. I would definitely avoid Ocean Beach and probably Veron Roads as they seem to really cop the brunt of drunk idiots, in that their is a lot more vandalism and a generally yuckier feeling on those roads.
Huge unemployment in the Central Coast – 9%. Sydney is 6%. There is absolutely no work here; do not come here unless and until you have a job. Youth Unemployment is 18%.
Central Coast Health Service is the biggest employer on the Coast; Gosford Council is the 2nd biggest; WorkCover is the 3rd biggest.
Like I said, there is no "white-collar" work, which everyone always talks about up here. Has always been like this, and unless a Commonwealth or State Government Department the size of WorkCover (1000 staff) opens up and moves one of their offices up here, and employs 1000 or more people, nothing will change.
90% of businesses on the Central Coast are "small businesses" employing 2 people. No-one is a white-collar professional here; they are all manual laborers, health care workers & retail sales staff.
And the money compared to Sydney is $20k less for exactly the same job, I have heard anecdotally. Everyone goes to Sydney for work.
There are no Asians or Indians here, and they are not welcome here (people are racist if you are not Anglo-saxon).
There are more Aboriginals here than any parts of Sydney, apart from Redfern, and they appear to behave themselves up here (you don't hear much about them in the local paper). |
