How I can help
The City of Newcastle can help with the majority of roads, footpaths, land rates, residential development, waste collection and sporting fields. You can lodge requests through the City’s website or by calling the customer service centre.
Our City’s infrastructure and transport are areas that are particularly important to me. As a member of the Newcastle City Traffic Committee, I have a voice on proposed changes to the local road network across the city.
I’m all about fighting for Newcastle to be a City where everyone in our community can thrive. So I am determined to stand up and speak out when it matters so our voice is heard.
