New road surfaces, more green space and improved footpaths are on the way in Georgetown as City of Newcastle begins work on the latest upgrades to the neighbourhood’s shopping precinct.

The multimillion-dollar project aims to improve the look and feel of Georgetown and enhance safety and accessibility for all members of the community. 

Early drainage works kick off the beginning of stage 2 upgrades at the corner of Cowper St and Georgetown Rd. From L-R City of Newcastle Interim Executive Manager Project Management Office Matthew Bennett, Cr Siobhan Isherwood, Cr Peta Winney-Baartz, Cr Mark Brooker and Project Manager Grant Mansfield. 

Widened footpaths will make it easier to navigate Georgetown on foot, while new seating and landscaped areas including more than 30 new street trees will enhance the feel of the public spaces.

The current stage of the project will also deliver new road surfaces on Georgetown Road and Moate Street for a smoother drive.

City of Newcastle’s Interim Executive Manager Project Management Office Matthew Bennett said the project will improve the already thriving village centre.

“Georgetown has a strong business community and this project will help create a more engaging environment for visitors to stop, shop, and enjoy,” Mr Bennett said. 

“Similar projects across the city at local centres like Llewellyn Street in Merewether and Beresford Avenue in Beresfield have delivered for those communities, and we’re excited to see the benefits this will bring to Georgetown.”

New pedestrian and shared crossings will make it safer for walkers and increase connectivity to the city’s growing cycleway network, while key infrastructure changes include moving overhead power lines underground to increase tree canopy, upgrading a 100-year-old water main, and improvements to stormwater drainage.

Newcastle’s coastline and civic spaces have been reimagined as vibrant stages for art, performance and community connection ahead of the New Annual festival, which kicks off on Friday. 

The opening weekend of City of Newcastle’s flagship arts festival features diverse events, activities and performances that invite audiences to rediscover the city through storytelling, from fantastical mini putt-putt at The Station, to immersive theatre at the Newcastle Ocean Baths. 

Artist Jen Denzin gives a sneak peek of her Argo Escargot shipping container installation to Member for Newcastle Tim Crakanthorp, New Annual Festival Director Tory Loudon and Deputy Lord Mayor Callum Pull.

New Annual Festival Director Tory Loudon said this year’s program invites audiences to see Newcastle and the places they know best through the eyes of local artists.

“This year, New Annual opens up opportunities for artists to connect with audiences through familiar spaces in new ways as they pay homage to the places that have shaped our city’s identity,” Ms Loudon said.

“With over 70% of the program featuring local artists, it’s Newcastle but not as you know it as they reimagine the spaces we know and love.”

Three giant shipping containers have transformed Camp Shortland into a public art trail that invites visitors to listen to a starfish through a sensory sound installation and experience a whole new view of the world via a walk-in camera obscura.

Newcastle artist Jen Denzin has turned the third container into a wild exploration of the storms, shipwrecks and spectral echoes of the past that have shaped her coastal home.

The trail continues down at The Station, where Denzin has collaborated with Sydney-based artist Rosie Deacon to create a whimsical six-hole mini putt-putt course especially for New Annual.

Back on the coastline, the Newcastle Ocean Baths and its bathers provide the backdrop and inspiration for an exhibition by local photographers Lee Illfield and Edwina Richards, as well as the creative reimagining of real-life stories by Newcastle production company Whale Chorus and playwright Ang Collins in their live theatre performance Meet Me at the Baths.

This weekend will also see the Newcastle Ocean Baths make its debut as a live music venue, with the first two of five scheduled ‘Soak’ sunset sessions by local and globally renowned music talent.

The Soak lineup includes Newcastle post punk band Dust, and a one-night-only collaboration between renowned beatboxer Tom Thum, Filipino and Murrawarri artist DOBBY and leading jazz composer Freyja Garbett.

A memorable musical line-up will also help set the vibe on Laman Street for New Annual’s vibrant First Night Art Party with high energy pop sets from Haiku Hands, Kira Puru and Devaura, while roving performances from the awe-inspiring Erth Underwater Divers and free drop-in art workshops will deliver a family-friendly atmosphere.

For one night only, Newcastle Art Gallery’s façade will be transformed into a canvas for shared storytelling, with projected animations co-created by Art Thinking with local children inspired by the Gallery’s new commissions by First Nations artists. 

Member for Newcastle Tim Crakanthorp said that New Annual is a fantastic example of how City of Newcastle continues to lead in creative placemaking. 

“With support from the NSW Government, the festival is drawing visitors from across the region and beyond, giving them a chance to experience our city’s infrastructure in bold, imaginative ways. It’s a celebration of place, and a powerful driver of cultural tourism,” Mr Crakanthorp said.

Other opening weekend highlights include the uplifting and unpredictable onstage filmmaking experience, POV, at Newcastle Museum, the transcendence of Jonny Hawkins’ Dancefloor Conversion Therapy and the chance to join a singing workshop with men’s choir sensations Spooky Men’s Chorale before experiencing their magnificence live on stage at City Hall.

Deputy Lord Mayor Callum Pull said New Annual continues to showcase the city’s commitment to culture, tourism and economic development.

“New Annual is more than just a celebration of creativity; it’s a significant investment in our local arts community and a bold statement about Newcastle’s identity,” Cr Pull said.

“By showcasing the incredible talent we have right here in our city, we not only support our artists, but also drive tourism, boost the local economy, and reimagine Newcastle as a vibrant, cultural destination for both residents and visitors alike.”
 
New Annual is proudly funded by the NSW Government in association with Transport for NSW Open Streets and Permit/Plug/Play Pilot programs, Multicultural NSW Stronger Together grant, Create NSW and the Destination NSW Regional Event Fund.  

The University of Newcastle, Equip Multimedia and Newcastle Art Gallery are presenting partners of the 2025 event.

New Annual runs from 26 September until 5 October with 10 days of music, theatre, dance, visual arts and public art. More than 60% of the events are free and family friendly.

City of Newcastle welcomed the community back into the Newcastle Art Gallery today, unveiling the first new spaces completed as part of its landmark expansion project. 

Visitors were treated to a taste of the Gallery’s $145 million collection alongside major First Nations commissions and acquisitions, which are on display across three of the new gallery spaces, entry foyer and soaring central atrium. 

Artists Renae Lamb, Julie Squires and Shellie Smith, Newcastle Art Gallery Director Lauretta Morton OAM, City of Newcastle CEO Jeremy Bath, Newcastle Art Gallery Society President Prue Viggers OAM, Lord Mayor Ross Kerridge, Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation Chair Suzie Galwey and artist Adam Manning celebrate the first look inside the expanded Newcastle Art Gallery today.

The celebrations began this morning with an opening that championed the Gallery’s First Nations First ethos and will be capped off tonight with a high energy First Night Art Party on Laman Street as part of the New Annual festival.  

City of Newcastle CEO Jeremy Bath said New Annual was the ideal time to give the community a preview of the reimagined Gallery.  

“Celebrating this milestone at the Gallery on the first day of our flagship arts festival New Annual is a fitting acknowledgement of our commitment to art and culture, and its role as an economic and tourism driver for our region,” Mr Bath said. 

“We have created a purpose-built home for our nationally significant collection and an attractive destination for major touring exhibitions, which will ensure Newcastle Art Gallery takes its place as one of Australia’s leading cultural institutions.  

“The new spaces we have opened today are just a taste of what is to come and I look forward to celebrating the full reopening of the Gallery in February next year.” 

Guests gather in the central atrium of the expanded Newcastle Art Gallery following today’s reopening event, which championed the Gallery’s First Nations First ethos.

The expansion project has more than doubled the size of the Gallery, delivering an additional 1,600 square meters of exhibition space. 

A number of these new spaces have been named in honour of the community members and artists whose generous donations helped make the expansion possible, including Valerie and John Ryan, Margaret Olley, Robert and Lindy Henderson and Mary and Richard Owens AM. 

Newcastle Art Gallery Director Lauretta Morton OAM said the expanded Gallery would be a permanent tribute to all those who had shown their support for the project over many years. 

“This expansion is a testament to the extraordinary generosity of our community,” Ms Morton said. 

“We are deeply grateful to the individuals, families, and organisations including the Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation, as well as the contributions of the Australian and NSW Governments, whose belief in the value and importance of art has helped turn this vision into reality. 

“We are proud to honour the incredible generosity of our major patrons by naming new spaces in the Gallery in recognition of their contributions. These names will forever be part of our story, reminding every visitor of the deep and lasting impact philanthropy has on the cultural life of our city.” 

Valerie Ryan was a Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation member and former governor. She gifted the residue of her estate, with an estimated value of $20 million, equally to the Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation and the Hunter Medical Research Institute. It is thought to be the largest bequest in Hunter history.

Margaret Olley had a significant and long-standing connection to Newcastle and the Newcastle Art Gallery. Her legacy includes 48 works gifted to the Gallery during her life (often on her birthday) and a $500,000 bequest for the expansion of the Gallery via the Margaret Olley Art Trust. 

Former Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation President Robert Henderson and his wife Lindy are long-time advocates and supporters of the Gallery. In 2022, the Hendersons pledged to match the Margaret Olley Art Trust’s gift toward the Gallery expansion.

Richard Owens, alongside his wife Mary, was a generous philanthropist and volunteer, pledging $500,000 towards the transformation of the Gallery. Richard was pivotal in the establishment of the Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation and was Chairperson of the Foundation for some time.

The expansion project is supported by $5 million from the Australian Government under the Regional Recovery Partnerships and $5 million from the New South Wales Government under the Regional Recovery Package, as well as $12 million from the Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation made possible through bequests, gifts and community fundraising over many years. A further $1 million is currently being sought through the Foundation’s public fundraising campaign. 

The Gallery is open Friday to Sunday each week with timed entry and free guided tours. Visitors can also check out the new retail shop, which champions local makers and creators, and view the inaugural window commission by Newcastle artist Maggie Hensel-Brown in the Learning Studio. 

The entire Gallery will be reopened in February next year, in conjunction with a major exhibition of works of art from the collection and the unveiling of the commission by internationally renowned artist Fayen d’Evie.

City of Newcastle is calling on the community to help shape the future of the coastline between Bar Beach and Merewether by providing feedback on potential management strategies.

Investigations show this area is at the most immediate risk from climate change-driven threats such as erosion and sea level rise.

Over time this will lead to narrowed sandy beaches and a loss of space for people to enjoy, as well as impacting events such as surf carnivals and Surfest, while also putting nearby surf clubs, walkways and roads at risk.

Program Lead for Coast and Estuary, Dr Josh van Lier, said City of Newcastle was developing a long-term Coastal Management Program (CMP) for the area between Nobbys Headland and Glenrock Lagoon, collectively known as the Southern Beaches.

“We need effective, practical and long-term strategies to keep this coastline section safe, accessible, and fit for future use” Dr van Lier said.

“This phase of consultation for the Southern Beaches CMP focuses on the Bar Beach to Merewether stretch as it is at the highest and most immediate risk.

“With increasing pressures such as climate change and growing visitor numbers, managing our coastline while balancing community enjoyment and environmental care is more important than ever.”

CMPs identify coastal management issues and the actions required to address them. This includes how and when actions are to be implemented, their costs and proposed funding mechanisms and cost-sharing arrangements. 

Coastal hazard modelling was used to understand natural processes such as wave action and sand movement to estimate how inundation and erosion may change the coastal environment in the future under different sea-level rise scenarios and storm events.

A range of options have since been developed to respond to current and future coastal risks between Bar Beach and Merewether utilising a range of resources such as historic coastal erosion data and geotechnical investigations.

Each management option also considers the potential impacts on the quality of surf breaks along the Bar Beach to Merewether stretch based on the findings of a surf amenity impact assessment.

The community is being asked to provide their feedback on strategies such as beach nourishment, protection structures and a managed retreat, or a combination of these elements, which all come with different benefits and risks.

“We’ve considered whether the options are practical, cost-effective and environmentally responsible, but most importantly, will they effectively address the risks we’ve identified,” Dr van Lier said.

“To emphasise the importance of this program we’ve estimated the ongoing cost of each option, which all run into the millions of dollars.

“People can make their voices heard by spending less than 10 minutes to complete the survey online or by voting in the quick poll, as well as attending one of several planned pop-up events to speak to a City of Newcastle representative.

“The community’s feedback will be used alongside feasibility and viability studies to determine the preferred management options that are included in the draft Southern Beaches CMP.”

Chairman Tim Ryan said the Merewether National Surfing Reserve Committee is happy to be a contributor to City of Newcastle’s Southern Beaches CMP.

“We applaud City of Newcastle’s process of consultation for the CMP,” Mr Ryan said.

“The climate change impacts on our beaches require significant planning and investment from a Local, State and Federal Government level to maintain a level of public amenity and maintain the wave quality and beach amenity along our coastline.

“We are looking forward to an outcome that fairly balances all the interests of the beach community and maintains the quality of the waves on the Merewether to Bar Beach stretch.”

Consultation closes on Monday 24 November 2025.

Police are appealing for public assistance to locate a teenage girl missing from the Lake Macquarie area.

Emma Herival, aged 15, was last seen on Awaba Street, Toronto, about 2pm on Thursday 25 September 2025.

Officers attached to Lake Macquarie Police District were notified on Friday (26 September 2025) and commenced inquiries into her whereabouts.

Police and family have concerns for Emma’s welfare due to her young age.

Emma is described as being of Caucasian appearance, about 150cm – 155cm tall, of thin build, with short strawberry blonde hair and brown eyes.

She is believed to frequent the Lake Macquarie and Central Coast region.

Drug & Firearms Squad detectives are appealing for public information following the discovery of two firearms and numerous 3D-printed firearm parts from a property in the state’s Hunter Region.

Strike Force Leeville is an investigation led by State Crime Command’s Drug & Firearms Squad into the manufacture of firearms.

Following inquiries under Strike Force Leeville, about 3.15pm on Tuesday 23 September 2025, strike force detectives – with assistance from Hunter Valley Police District – searched a property in Barnsley.

During the search, police located a toolbox in the garage containing two rifles and numerous 3D printed firearm parts.

The items were seized to undergo further forensic examination and a 59-year-old man at the property was spoken to.

As investigations under Strike Force Leeville continue, police are urging anyone with information about the ownership or origins of the firearms to come forward.

Three people have been rescued after a boat capsized on the state’s Central Coast yesterday.

About 3pm (24 September 2025), police were called to Maitland Bay Beach, near Bouddi National Park, following reports of a boat was capsized and occupants need urgent assistance in the water.

Officers attached to Marine Area Command attended the scene and located a runabout boat overturned while two men – aged 69 and 61 – were in the water.

Police, with the assistance of a lifeguard from the Central Coast Council, successfully pulled the two men out to the nearby rock platform area.

A short time later, police, with the assistance from lifeguards, managed to lift one side of the boat and rescued a third passenger – a second 69-year-old man – who managed to breath in the air pocket area.

An emergency landing zone was secured in Woy Woy area, with the assistance from officers attached to Brisbane Water Police District, and the three men were airlifted to the area before they were taken to Gosford Hospital for further treatment.

Superintendent Joseph Mcnulty, Commander of Marine Area Command, says the importance of wearing a life jacket can be the difference between life or death on the water.

All three men were wearing their life jackets at the time of incident, and it was a gamechanger in saving their lives.

While we will be welcoming summer soon, it is also be the peak season of drowning incidents so our key message is simple please plan your trip by checking your vessel, equipment and weather. Always be prepared for emergency situations by wearing an approved life jacket.” Superintendent Mcnulty said

Wearing a life jacket will save not just your life but also protect your family from possibly losing a loved one.

The NSW Government is supercharging housing supply in Lake Macquarie, with four modular homes nearly ready for move in and a fifth on the way this year.

The five new homes have been delivered under the Minns Labor Government’s record $6.6 billion Building Homes for NSW program, which is backing a $75 million investment in MMC to fast-track delivery and tackle the state’s housing crisis head-on.

Built by Moov Modular using Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), the Lake Macquarie homes were constructed off-site and installed in less than four weeks, showing how innovation can deliver premium housing faster and at scale.

The NSW Government will deliver 90 MMC homes in the 2025-26 financial year across metropolitan and regional NSW, including:
26 metropolitan Sydney sites in Guildford West, Quakers Hill, Lalor Park, Greenacre, Riverstone, Whalan, Chester Hill, Ashcroft, and Blacktown.
34 regional NSW sites in Lake Macquarie, Shellharbour, Wagga and Dubbo.

These innovative homes will provide modern, high-quality housing for up to 200 people on the social housing waitlist and support around 300 local construction and manufacturing jobs.

The NSW Government is also ramping up housing support in Lake Macquarie through its landmark $100 million Homelessness Innovation Fund, delivering real solutions for those most in need.

As part of this initiative, $400,000 has been allocated to the St Vincent de Paul Society’s Swansea Supported Temporary Accommodation Project. This funding is transforming a former aged care facility into 32 safe and secure units, providing vital accommodation for vulnerable women and children in the community.

For more information, please visit: http://www.nsw.gov.au/homes-nsw/MMC

Minister for Housing and Homelessness Rose Jackson said:

Modular homes are a game-changer – in just a matter of weeks, we’ve turned a construction site into quality homes that are ready for people to move into and start their next chapter.

Every home we deliver through modular construction means another family off the waitlist and into housing they can rely on.

This is proof that when we embrace innovation, we can cut through the red tape, deliver homes faster, and still maintain the quality people deserve.”

Minister for the Hunter Yasmin Catley said:

To address the shortage of housing particularly for the most vulnerable has required the Government to think outside the square to quickly put rooves over people’s head.

“This announcement shows that with the right approach, we can cut through red tape and get things done.

“Getting these homes built quickly can mean the difference between families having nowhere to go and finally having somewhere to call home – something I’m proud to support.”

Member for Charlestown Jodie Harrison said:

The government’s adoption of modular building practices to deliver social and affordable homes in the Newcastle region is welcomed.

Modular construction means vulnerable women and children in our community will be able to access safe and secure homes faster, so they can start rebuilding their lives.”

Managing Director of Moov Modular Nicholas O’Neill said:

Delivering housing for people that need it the most is core to the Moov Modular business and team, and we believe modular and modern methods of construction can do this at scale and fast.

Partnering with Homes NSW has not just provided an opportunity to deliver homes but shown how passionate their team is to solve the housing crisis. Working together with industry, using fast construction methods and really caring about the people who will live in the homes has been at the heart of how we have worked together.

We really look forward to seeing people move into these Lake Macquarie homes and for the whole modular industry to deliver homes that are needed in NSW.”
