Delivering Newcastle 2040
2024-2025 Delivering Newcastle 2040
City of Newcastle (CN)'s Delivery Program and Operational Plan are known as Delivering Newcastle 2040.
Delivering Newcastle 2040 is one of our most important documents as it demonstrates how we will achieve the community's visions and priorities, including clear actions that guide the delivery of our services and projects.
The Delivery Program is a commitment for what the elected Council will achieve during its four-year term of office and is the primary reference point for all activities undertaken by Council. The Operational Plan (including the Annual Budget) identifies the projects, programs and actions that CN will deliver over a 12-month period commencing from 1 July 2024.
We will invest over $415 million into our city, delivering key services and infrastructure that will bring our community's vision to life. We provide over 60 services to our community and plan to deliver 282 projects and 170 actions across the city.
In 2024/25 we will continue to deliver initiatives from our informing and supporting strategies such as the Environment Strategy, Cycling and Parking Plan, Climate Action Plan, Social Strategy, and Sustainable Waste Strategy
We’re delivering another record annual investment into public infrastructure with more than $139 million earmarked for capital works projects, whilst continuing on a path of financial sustainability with a surplus of $4.1 million.
Highlights include:
$32.9 million on two City Shaping projects such as the expansion of the Newcastle Art Gallery and the remediation of the former landfill at Sandgate
$38.1 million on roads, bridges, footpaths, community buildings, stormwater, and flood planning such as Mayfield East and Darby Street
$18.1 million on our Libraries, Parks, Aquatic Centres, Civic sites and recreation, and sports improvements such as Gregson Park Playground
