Community Lands Notices

PUBLIC NOTICE - Proposed Land Reclassification

City of Newcastle is proposing to reclassify 22 parcels of land from Operational Land to Community Land to be better aligned with the intended use and value to the community. These parcels are currently managed as natural areas but are not classified as such. We are working to secure and protect these land parcels for future generations.

The parcels of land include a diverse range of natural areas such as wetland, creeks and bushland in Black Hill, Elermore Vale, Fletcher, Wallsend, Maryland, North Lambton and New Lambton Heights.

Under the Local Government Act 1993, all land owned by Council must be classified as either Operational or Community Land. Community land cannot be sold, must be categorised and included in a Plan of Management which guides how it will be used and managed.

You can have your say on the proposal by providing a written submission to City of Newcastle between 30 May and 5pm 27 June 2025.
