Tuggerah (/ˈtʌɡərə/) is a large commercial hub and a suburb of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. It is located approximately 91 km north of Sydney and 68 km south of Newcastle. It is the second largest business hub, major shopping area and financial district for the Central Coast after Erina.
It is a mixture of semi-rural, residential, and light industrial. Historically it was, like much of the Wyong District, a dairy area, and still has the Pioneer Dairy Wetlands. There was an airstrip for some years which has now been built over. The Wyong South sewerage plant is also located in Tuggerah. Tuggerah is located in the Central Coast Council local government area.
