Newcastle 2030
Newcastle 2030 is a shared community vision and 10-year Community Strategic Plan developed as a guide to inform planning and actions throughout the city.
The Community Strategic Plan contains:
- seven strategic directions
- 23 objectives we want to achieve over the next ten years
- strategies for achieving our goals.
The key recreational objectives identified in the Community Strategic Plan are:
- public places that provide for diverse activity and strengthen our social connections
- active and healthy community with physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
Strategies identified to achieve these objectives include:
- increase opportunities for active and passive recreational use of the city’s parks, foreshores and harbour through the provision of child safe spaces, shade, seating, toilets and other amenities
- create welcoming and accessible community facilities and attractive public spaces that create opportunities for people to meet and connect with each other
- provide a broad range of recreation, health and wellness programs to target the age-specific needs of residents including younger children, older children, adolescents, families and seniors
- provide events to encourage use of open space and facilities and participation in activities such as ‘come and try days’ and ‘active parks programs’.
