Greens Councillor, Michael Osbourne, has accused the State Government of conflict of interest regarding Newcastle's CBD planning.
The NSW Government has appointed developer Urban Growth NSW to coordinate the planning in the CBD but Councillor Osbourne argues planning should be carried out by the Newcastle community.
Some community members are concerned proposed towers will obscure the Cathedral and should be moved to Newcastle West.
Newcastle Inner City Residents Alliance is meeting 7pm tonight at City Hall to discuss the matter.
