Background
The Central Coast Plateau is unique to the rest of the Central Coast in that it has been a highly productive agricultural industry over time with some industrial land use. In the 1900s, timber getting, passion fruit growing and citrus orchards became economic mainstays of the Plateau. Large numbers of poultry farms were established in the Kulnura area in the post WW2 era. The main land uses are National Park and State Forest, with some quarries and farms.
