City Shaping
Newcastle is a city that has it all – beach and bush, business and leisure, cafes and fine dining – and, best of all, everything's in close reach.
In the past 200 years, Newcastle has undergone dramatic changes - and there's a lot more on the horizon.
Five multi-million and multi-billion dollar projects have been announced to help underpin the next stage of transformation, including large developments at the Port of Newcastle, John Hunter Hospital, University of Newcastle, Summerhill Waste Management Centre and the Broadmeadow sporting and entertainment precinct.
These developments look to shape and complement the existing city structure as Newcastle builds a new identity for a new world.
