About Lemon Tree

Lemon Tree is a small rural locality on the Central Coast of New South Wales, situated approximately 75 kilometres north of Sydney in the Tuggerah Lakes hinterland. Covering around 8.5 square kilometres, it recorded a 2021 Census population of 54 residents. The locality lies within the Central Coast Council area, set in the quiet rural residential country between Wyong and The Entrance.

The Central Coast's lakes and beaches are close by, with Tuggerah Lake, The Entrance, and the Terrigal and Gosford areas all accessible within a short drive. Wyong, approximately 10 kilometres away, provides shopping, medical services, and train access to Sydney. A private vehicle is helpful, though the Central Coast's public transport network covers much of the broader area. The mix of rural residential character and proximity to the coast and Sydney makes Lemon Tree part of the desirable Central Coast lifestyle corridor.
