Harbour Foreshore Community Reference Group

Introduction

City of Newcastle (CN) has engaged with the community and key stakeholders on the future of the Harbour Foreshore, including Wharf Road, Foreshore Reserve and Foreshore Park. A comprehensive community engagement program was undertaken in collaboration with consultants Taylor Cullity Lethlean (TCL) and inclusive playspace partner Touched by Olivia.

As part of our community engagement program, CN has created a Community Reference Group (CRG) that represents both key stakeholders and user groups of the Harbour Foreshore, along with community members of a range of ages, abilities and walks of life. The purpose of the CRG is to enable two-way communication and engagement between CN and representatives of the Newcastle community during the development of the Harbour Foreshore Masterplan.

The CRG is one element of our engagement program for enhancing the Harbour Foreshore area, complemented by other engagement activities with the broader community. To stay updated on how you can have your say, please visit the Harbour Foreshore Have Your Say page. The draft masterplan will be placed on public exhibition for community feedback from 28 September - 26 October 2022.

More information on the CRG, including the list of members, meeting schedules, member duties and responsibilities is available in the CRG Terms of Reference.
