Lake Macquarie History

Villa Place

Originally part of Kirkdale Drive - a private road extension named Villa Place containing villas, was built on the end. The Kirkdale section was gazetted Villa Place on 12 June 1987. The drive entrance and car park to LA Women's Health and Fitness Club is in Villa Place. Previously this had been a service station and then a restaurant operated by Lake Macquarie Mayor Ivan Welsh.
