Have Your Say Newcastle
We listened to your aspirations for the future of Newcastle, and we've updated our Community Strategic Plan to ensure we're heading in the right direction towards a city that we can all be proud of.
Newcastle 2040 - our Community Strategic Plan is the highest level of planning undertaken by City of Newcastle (CN). It is our 10-year roadmap identifying where we are now, where we want to be in the future, and how we'll get there.
It's a plan that represents our shared vision for Newcastle, bringing together who we are, what we love, our challenges, and our opportunities. We all have a role to play in shaping the future of our city.
We'll continue to work with the community, local businesses and industry, government, agencies and partners to plan and deliver long-term positive change for our city.
