Preview Newcastle’s new look
05 March 2018
NSW Government:
New 3D animations reveal how the
Newcastle
city centre will look once construction is complete in 2019.
The Revitalising Newcastle program used technical data to form lifelike
representations of how the Newcastle Interchange, Civic and Pacific Park
will look once the
light rail is operating.
The program will deliver:
-
revitalised land to provide education and affordable housing opportunities
-
a new multi-modal transport interchange at Wickham
-
wire-free light rail between Newcastle Interchange and Pacific Park
-
road and footpath upgrades in the city
-
a new integrated public transport provider.

Director Michael Cassel said the images and animations would give
Novocastrians confidence that Hunter Street had an exciting and vibrant
future.
“With construction underway along the light rail route, these designs
give us a powerful reminder of the end goal – a vibrant,
pedestrian-friendly, attractive Newcastle city centre with connections
to the coast, CBD and harbour,” Mr Cassel said.
“The community and council told us they wanted Newcastle to be about
people and look great when finished, which meant no wires above the
light rail and better public spaces.”
