Category: Newcastle NSW

Newcastle is a major city and the largest coal port in the world. Although it’s rarely included in property statistics its population is larger than cities like Hobart, Adelaide and Darwin.

After BHP left the city residents were concerned for it’s future but recent developments along the foreshore, in the city (highrise apartments) and with transport (lightrail) the city is starting to boom.

Newcastle joins Lake Macquarie council in the South and the Hunter Region in the West and Port Stephens in the North and has a regional airport which is expected to accept International flights in the near future.

It is a city of beaches, foreshores, cultural buildings yet it is gentrifying with cafes and eateries in Wickham, Carrington and Islington which were once industrial suburbs.
