CEO Message

Jeremy Bath

The importance of Newcastle 2040 for the future of our city can’t be overstated. Representing the highest level of planning we undertake at local government level, it’s a shared community vision that will inform our projects and programs for the next 10 years and beyond.

Creating a vision for our city is one thing – but what’s just as important is having a plan to make sure we get things done.

As custodians of Newcastle 2040, we’ll implement an integrated approach to planning and reporting, enabling the community and our partners in government and business to track our progress and see our achievements, year-to-year, for each of the key themes. City of Newcastle alone cannot deliver the priorities and objectives of Newcastle 2040. Shared decision-making and collaborative partnerships with government agencies, non-government organisations, business and, of course, our local community, will be critical to our collective success as a region.

Every one of us has a role to play in realising our shared future.

As we move towards achieving our goals for Newcastle 2040, we will work closely with you, our community and partners, on the actions, projects and services we need to deliver to bring this plan to life.

Together, we can create a liveable, sustainable, inclusive global city.
