Description: Like many other industrial and post-industrial cities around the world, Newcastle NSW has utilised the demise of heavy industry and associated transport networks to repurpose spaces in the urban core. The City Council’s visionary plans seek to redefine the spatial design of the central area of the city utilising its own resources and leveraging other partners to add new precincts to the east and west as part of a polycentric structure. This dynamic reinvention and repurposing of the city centre represent a realisation that past, smaller-scale initiatives have failed to reverse the suburbanisation processes. This case study reinforces how achieving such city centre planning is difficult when the authority and financial clout of the local state is limited. Despite the vision of a new future city centre, critically investment is reliant on private sector involvement and negotiation within multi-tier governance.
