We are yet to hear the formal announcement from the NSW Government, but applaud the fact we finally have a decision & plan to move forward.

This is far more than just the “removal of the rail line” it’s about an integrated transport strategy & plan to fix our city & get it moving

There is still a long way to go yet, but finally we have a decision and a financial commitment from the NSW Government.

Businesses & the City need it to start happening now,not in three to five years. Inner-city Newcastle needs this shot in the arm desperately

Fantastic news for our region. Well done Tim Owen. theherald.com.au/story/1185362/…

Any Newcastle peeps out there want to have their say on plans to cut the Train line at Wickham? let me know, we want to talk to you

@NatWallaceNBN Ben Smee Robertson was the last Labor transport minister: did nothing 4 Newcastle, nothing 4 Glendale #politicalopportunist

MT Newcastle Alliance: "@jrobertsonmp obviously wasn’t sitting at Stewart Ave for 25 mins today as #rail gates went down & traffic backed up."

The Newcastle Alliance is disappointed with the reaction and protests planned for today regarding the Newcastle Urban Renewal Strategy.

We are disappointed with Mr Robertson’s moves today. A cheap publicity stunt and is not a true reflection of Renewal Strategy.

We have had decades of inaction by previous NSW Governments.The Barry O'Farrell Govt was elected in this City with a mandate for change.

That change has been made and it’s time for the political grand standing to cease and bipartisan support to commence.

The Newcastle Alliance encourages the silent majority to have a say;pls write letters to the media & use social media to show your support!

The decision has been made. Let’s move forward not only for inner City Newcastle, but the Hunter as a whole.

Newcastle has voted 4 removal of rail in both state & local elections yet its still being used politically. If it stays what fixes the city?

A very happy (significant) birthday to Newcastle Alliance Chair - Paul Murphy - all the best Paul!

#Newcastle business lobby group Newcastle Alliance is calling for City of Newcastle's next general manager to come from outside local government.

.Newcastle Alliance's Paul Murphy re next City of Newcastle GM: "It's got to be someone who'll really grab bull by horns & get #Newcastle going."

Hope you are heading to Newcastle Council Community Consultation Session at Fort Scratchley Multi Purpose Centre at 6pm tonight!
