In February 2017, the Department of Planning and Environment commenced the
process of preparing the Greater Newcastle Metropolitan Plan, a key action from
the Hunter Regional Plan 2036.
The Metropolitan Plan will ensure that homes, jobs and infrastructure are
delivered in the right locations, and that the region's competitive advantages,
environmental assets and natural resources are safeguarded and maximised.
The Metropolitan Plan will address housing supply to meet the needs of the
growing population over the next 20 years, and help house prices in Newcastle
and the broader Hunter Region remain affordable.
