Results from a community feedback survey have found Newcastle residents know what they want to see done with the Newcastle Railway Station site, but they are divided over what to do with Civic Station.
The Revitalising Newcastle report shows there is overwhelming support to refurbish and reuse Newcastle Station with the majority wanting the building reused and turned into eateries, outdoor piazza, an art space, or outdoor cinema.
The state government says maintenance work will continue ahead of a development application for temporary uses for the site.
But there are more questions than answers for Civic Station with a mixed reaction from residents about whether it should simply be knocked down, or reused.
A permanent use for the station will be decided on through expressions of interest next year.
