Newcastle City Council

In 2030, Newcastle will be a smart, liveable and sustainable city.

Council developed and adopted a suite of strategic documents to guide delivery of Council's seven key strategic directions, outlined in the Newcastle 2030 Community Strategic Plan.

A Connected City
A Protected and Enhanced Environment
Vibrant and Activated Public Places
A Caring and Inclusive Community
A Liveable and Distinctive Built Environment
A Smart and Innovative City
Open and Collaborative Leadership

This planning strategy has assisted in the delivery of a City Revitalisation Program that has encouraged a large investment in the City by both Government and private investors that are willing to prove that Newcastle is ready for change.
