Trinity Point $665 million resort given final approval — what it means for Lake Macquarie

A landmark $665 million expansion of Trinity Point at Morisset Park has cleared its final planning hurdle, paving the way for what developers are calling a world-class lakeside resort and residential precinct. The state-significant project, led by Johnson Property Group, will add a 153-room luxury hotel (including four serviced apartments), 160 waterfront apartments and two 300-seat signature restaurants — plus a raft of hospitality, marina and visitor-economy infrastructure aimed at transforming Lake Macquarie into a premium tourism destination.

According to developer materials and reporting on the approval, the approved scope includes: a 153-room five-star hotel with four serviced apartments, four residential buildings providing about 160 waterfront apartments (mixes of two, three and four-bedroom layouts), two large 300-seat restaurants, a function and conference centre, wellness facilities, retail and a high-end marina. The design language for the precinct has been prepared in collaboration with internationally-recognised architect Koichi Takada, whose studio has referenced local landscapes in the masterplan.
