Newcastle's strength and spirit come from its people.

Council works closely with, and for, the people of Newcastle to keep this city a place people like to live in.

We play a pivotal role in providing, supporting and fostering activities for families to enjoy ... such as playing in the park, going to sport, visiting the theatre or walking the dog.

We care about our people. Our staff keep the streets clean and fix our roads. They maintain our parks and gardens. We work with other agencies to reduce graffiti and noise in the city at night.

Council looks to the future. We plan for changes in population size and age, housing and transport needs. We want this city to prosper and grow, and provide a bright future of our children.
