Creating our Vision
"Our shared vision for Newcastle is for a smart, liveable and sustainable City."
In 2030 Newcastle will be a Smart, Liveable and Sustainable city. We will celebrate our unique city and protect our natural assets. We will build resilience in the face of future challenges and encourage innovation and creativity. As an inclusive community, we will embrace new residents and foster a culture of care. We will be a leading lifestyle city with vibrant public places, connected transport networks and a distinctive built environment. And as we make our way toward 2030, we will achieve all this within a framework of open and collaborative leadership.
Newcastle 2030 is a long-term community strategic plan, required under NSW Government legislation and developed to guide and inform policies and actions throughout the city for the next decade. We will be a better city in 2030 thanks to the input and insight of the many people who took part in this planning process. This vision sets the direction for where we want our city to grow, it represents what we value in our city and what we want improved.
The City of Newcastle recognises the enormous benefit of planning alongside the community. It helps address social, environmental, economic and civic issues in an inclusive and effective process. Quite simply, it makes good sense for us all as residents, civic leaders and community participants.
Newcastle is a unique place. Find out what is Uniquely Newcastle and What the Community Said during the development of the vision.
