UrbanGrowth NSW has lodged a development application with Newcastle City Council to transform Market Street Lawn in the city’s East End.
Part of the plan includes the restoration of the heritage listed Signal Box to become a café or similar facility.
Revitalising Newcastle says the plan will connect the city to the waterfront.
If approved, the works will incorporate a paved plaza and water feature, with design elements acknowledging the rail corridor’s history.
More than half of the corridor from Worth Place to Newcastle Station is proposed as open space, and will be connected to a new light rail stop.
Subject to approvals, construction is anticipated to commence mid-year.
