Introduction

Council is committed to realising the potential of the North West Lake Macquarie Catalyst Area (NWLMCA) and its role in achieving targets in the Greater Newcastle Metropolitan Plan 2036. We are creating an environment where public and private sector, big business and small, will work side by side to provide innovative, positive outcomes for our City – helping us grow and thrive in years to come.
Our vision for North West Lake Macquarie Catalyst Area (NWLMCA):
  • The NWLMCA is a place of regional significance.
  • Major private and public investment and a diversity of people are attracted by its central location, efficient transport network and lifestyle advantages.
  • It is a network of vibrant liveable hubs surrounded by unique and sustained natural landscapes.
  • It is the largest, most diverse and innovative employment generating catchment in the region with a range of affordable housing and transport options.
  • With easy access to jobs, education, shops, services, parks and recreation spaces it is the regional location of choice.
