202 Newcastle Urban Renewal Strategy

OverviewTo achieve real change and realise the potential of the city centre, the initiatives already discussed will need to be implemented over time, by a number of stakeholders. Some initiatives will have more impact on their own or will be catalysts for others with significant flow-on effects.

Ultimately, renewal will rely on the co-operation of a range of stakeholders including State government, local government, the private sector and the community. The implementation timeframe will commence in the short-term, but will then look towards medium and long-term actions for delivery over the life of the plan.

Some initiatives will be implemented more readily than others. Planning-focused initiatives, such as amending the LEP and DCP as well as development and marketing of economic and transport related strategies, can commence and be delivered in the short-term. Delivery of physical improvements will be more gradual over a longer period of time. Some physical improvements are suited to being trialled in a temporary form to gauge their effectiveness, for example, the Hunter Street upgrade. Aspects of this include introduction of activity nodes and extra landscaping in small sections of Hunter Street and use of temporary materials to trial the Hunter Street cycleway. This approach has the benefit of allowing ideas to be tested, being lower in cost and not involving major works or changes to the existing street infrastructure.

The implementation framework groups the initiatives as follows:

1. planning framework amendments

2. physical improvements to the public domain

3. economic

4. transport-related.

The framework covers the strategic initiatives contained within this urban renewal strategy, along with an indication of the main agencies and

6.1 Implementation plan

organisations involved in delivery and timeframes divided into short (1 – 3 years), medium (3 – 8 years) and long term (more than 8 years).

TransportWhere Transport for NSW (TNSW) is nominated against an action in the plan, it is recommended that they consider and investigate the action further in their preparation of the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan and any subsequent regional transport plan. These actions have been identified as being beneficial for and supporting urban renewal as part of this process. On this basis, the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan should consider these actions, but, it may arrive at different conclusions that build on or differ from them.

Catalyst projectsThe following key initiatives will have significant short-term benefits as well as being catalysts to stimulate wider change in the city centre:

• expanding the university campus in the city centre

• revitalisation of Hunter Street Mall and adjacent major land holdings

• reshaping Hunter Street as a key city destination

• promoting enhanced connections across the rail corridor

• attracting more residents into the city centre

• promoting a higher mode shift to public transport.

The following diagram and series of maps show how implementation of the strategies and initiatives can catalyse renewal in the city centre over time. In particular, the commencement of temporary measures and commitment to catalyst projects will have a range of flow-on effects that lead to long terms gains.
