Newcastle Council will be voting on the adoption of a 30-year strategy next week which will shape the future of Broadmeadow.
The Broadmeadow Place Strategy is the next step in the suburbs renewal, which will see up to 15,000 jobs and 20,000 homes created.
The plan comes after the State Government's Rezoning Pathways Program named the precinct as one of ten which will boost housing supply.
City of Newcastle Executive Director of Planning and Environment Michelle Bisson says the strategy presents a unique opportunity to help set the vision and guide where key infrastructure and services should be located.
"The NSW Government has been working in partnership with the City of Newcastle to develop the Place Strategy," she said.
"We are the only Council in NSW involved in such a partnership, ensuring early input into the strategic planning for the renewal of he Broadmeadow precinct," she said.
