Our Responsibilities

We are responsible for the construction and maintenance of around 3,500 kilometres of roads, footpaths, drainage, and kerbs and guttering. Many natural assets are our responsibility too, including 14 kilometres of spectacular coastline, over 100,000 street trees and more than 400 parks, reserves and wetlands.

Our Organisation

Founded in April 1938 following the merger of 11 local Councils, City of Newcastle is now the second largest local government area outside of Greater Sydney, supporting a population forecast to grow to more than 202,000* residents by 2041.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Strongly committed to sustainability right across the organisation, the City has delivered key projects to reduce our environmental impact while achieving strong financial savings from these actions for ratepayers.

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.
