About Newcastle
Newcastle 2300 encompasses the vibrant heart of Australia's second-largest city in New South Wales, situated 160 kilometres north of Sydney at the mouth of the Hunter River. This inner-city suburb has a population of around 3,850 residents and has undergone remarkable urban renewal following the removal of the heavy rail corridor that once divided the city from its harbour. The transformation has reconnected the CBD with the waterfront, sparking a renaissance in urban living.
Residents enjoy an enviable lifestyle with Newcastle Beach, the historic Ocean Baths, and Fort Scratchley all within walking distance. The suburb blends heritage-listed terraces and character homes with contemporary apartments catering to young professionals and downsizers alike. A thriving café culture, diverse restaurants, boutique shopping, and proximity to world-class surf breaks make Newcastle 2300 an increasingly desirable address for those seeking big-city amenities with a relaxed coastal pace.
Newcastle falls under postcode 2300 and is governed by Newcastle Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Newcastle electorate.
