Broadmeadow is set to be transformed as the Minns Government finalises its state-led rezoning to deliver new homes, affordable housing and jobs across the precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New planning controls will enable up to 3,200 homes to be built on government-owned land, including 5 to 10 per cent affordable housing, while supporting up to 2,350 new construction jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hunter Central Coast Development Corporation (HCCDC) will be the delivery co-ordination agency and will support the transformation of the Broadmeadow precinct into a vibrant community with great services and access to entertainment and sporting facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rezoning will preserve significant heritage sites and deliver new public and green spaces, as well as new pedestrian and transport links to connect to surrounding areas, including Broadmeadow Train Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rezoning of the first four government-owned sites within the Broadmeadow precinct marks the beginning of the most significant urban renewal project to be undertaken in Greater Newcastle and will occur progressively over the next 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Broadmeadow Place Strategy approved earlier this year and jointly delivered by the NSW Government and the City of Newcastle, will guide new development in the precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HCCDC will now prepare an infrastructure delivery plan for the rezoned land, in collaboration with the City of Newcastle and other relevant state government agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
