About Alison (Dungog - NSW)

Alison is a small rural-residential locality on the Central Coast of New South Wales, situated approximately 4 kilometres north-west of Wyong and 22 kilometres north of Gosford. The locality covers around 19 square kilometres at low elevation in the hinterland north of Wyong, and had a population of approximately 99 residents at the 2021 census. It sits in the Central Coast Council local government area, surrounded by Jilliby to the west, Warnervale to the north and Wyong Creek to the south-west. The locality falls within the federal electorate of Shortland and the NSW state electorate of Wyong, and the name is distinguished from another Alison locality elsewhere in NSW.

Alison is a quiet semi-rural locality where residents benefit from proximity to the amenities of Wyong and the broader Central Coast. Wyong itself is the key service hub for the northern Central Coast, offering supermarkets, schools, medical facilities and the Wyong railway station — a major advantage given the locality's closeness to the rail corridor. The Central Coast lifestyle — beach towns like The Entrance and Toukley are within 15–20 minutes by car — is a strong drawcard for residents. The area has been growing steadily as the Central Coast expands northward, attracting families and commuters who value open space with reasonable access to both Sydney and Newcastle.

Alison (Dungog - NSW) falls under postcode 2259 and is governed by the Central Coast Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Shortland, while state elections fall under the Wyong electorate.
