Spotlight On Warriewood

L ocated on the beautiful Northern Beaches, about a five minute drive from Mona Vale Beach, Kennards Warriewood opened in 1995 as a purpose built storage centre, ideal for the residents and businesses of the upper northern beaches. In the 1920’s new settlers came to Warriewood including several families from former Yugoslavia. The area expanded as a farming district, and was known as Glass City because the valley was covered with approximately 3,500 glasshouses, mainly used for cultivating tomatoes. Field crops were also grown. Production reached its peak between 1947 and 1954. From the 1960’s market gardening declined and some land was redeployed for nursery gardens. Most of Warriewood, apart from some pockets of light industry, was Zoned as a Rural Area until 1991 when the State Govern- ment permitted subdivision. By 2000 the rural character of Warriewood began to change as the valley became a suburb.
