Planning Proposal to Rezone Rail Corridor

Planning proposal to rezone rail corridor between Worth Place and Watt Street Newcastle

Newcastle is undergoing unprecedented change and renewal. More than $1billion worth of development has been approved across the city in the last 12 months. The next phase of the renewal is the former rail corridor and planning for this space was on public exhibition in September 2017.

The proposal outlines the zones for each parcel of land between Worth Place and Watt Street, Newcastle and it includes a mix of green spaces, pathways and development sites. Details of the proposal, the public exhibition process and a summary of the submissions and survey outcomes can be found on the rail corridor public exhibition project page.

The public exhibition period has now closed.

City of Newcastle acknowledges that we operate on the grounds of the traditional country of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples.
We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and continuing relationship with the land, and that they are the proud survivors of more than two hundred years of dispossession.
CN reiterates its commitment to address disadvantages and attain justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this community.
