Newcastle 2040

Newcastle 2040 - it's our future

Newcastle 2040 is City of Newcastle's (CN) Community Strategic Plan (CSP). It is the highest level of strategic planning undertaken by CN developed as a guide to inform policies, strategies, plans and actions throughout the city for the next 10+ years.

Our shared vision for Newcastle is a liveable, sustainable, inclusive, global city.

Everyone has a role to play. We'll continue to work with the community, local businesses and industry, government, agencies and partners to plan and deliver long-term change.

During 2024 and 2025, we reviewed our CSP - Newcastle 2040 to ensure it aligns with the community's current goals and priorities. To find out more about our engagement visit the Have Your Say webpage.

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.
