Projects and Works

Every year we deliver projects that maintain, renew and reinvigorate Newcastle as we continue to achieve your vision for a liveable, sustainable and inclusive global city.

More than $154 million will be invested across 344 projects as part of the 2025/26 Budget. This includes 192 projects addressing road and traffic network improvements, 138 projects supporting cycleways and pedestrian networks and 86 projects that will focus on recreation and sport.

Our Delivery Program and Operational Plan, known as Delivering Newcastle 2040, reflects our integrated approach to support the Newcastle 2040 Community Strategic Plan.

In 2025/26 the average infrastructure spend per property will be almost $2,100, which is $200 more than the average annual residential rate. This is made possible through sound financial management and investment as detailed in Resourcing Newcastle 2040 including our Long-Term Financial Plan 2025-2035.

This page provides the latest updates on key projects being developed and delivered across Newcastle. Community engagement helps us make well-informed decisions as we are developing projects. Visit our Have Your Say page to join the conversation or sign up for our newsletter.
