Forest Lake Way

This street name is the same as the local subdivision promotion name where there is a small artificial lake and the streets are named after trees. This name is symbolic of the original forest here and around Lake Macquarie. It was developed by Ashlar Properties in 1992 though it had been surveyed earlier.
