Local council planning in the City of Lake Macquarie continues to focus on managed growth around Morisset as a key regional centre, which over time is likely to bring improved services, retail and community facilities that Morisset Park residents can access.[3][4] Transport links via road to the M1 and Morisset train station provide reasonable connectivity, and any future upgrades in these corridors would further support property values by improving accessibility for commuters.[3] At present there are no widely publicised, suburb-specific infrastructure projects in Morisset Park itself that are expected to significantly disrupt or accelerate the local property market in the short term.
