It consists mainly of paddocks and rural properties, yet over the recent years[when?], it has been urbanised, with housing estates being established, much like the neighbouring suburb Hamlyn Terrace.
Planning began in 2000 for a commercial development in the area north of Sparks Road and east of the railway, termed Warnervale Town Centre.[2] Woolworths proposed to build a new shopping centre, and a railway station was planned. A road was constructed to the proposed site (Woongarrah Road), but as of 2022, work on the shopping centre has not yet begun. New plans call for a scaled-down shopping centre, and there is no longer a plan to build a railway station.[3]
