Newcastle 2040 - it's our future
We asked you to have your say on how we can deliver your vision
Newcastle 2040 is City of Newcastle's (CN) Community Strategic Plan (CSP). It is the highest level of strategic planning undertaken by CN and sets out a 10-year roadmap identifying our community's vision and aspirations for Newcastle.
We asked you to help shape the next version of City of Newcastle's Community Strategic Plan, by completing a survey and sharing your aspirations for the future of our city.
