Newcastle could become the home for Australia's $50 billion future of submarines.
The Daily Telegraph reports both Newcastle and Wollongong's Port Kembla are options on the table for the French-designed Barracuda subs.
Sydney is reportedly too cramped to house the 12 new submarines particularly after the closure of the HMAS Platypus base.
It won't be anytime soon though, the subs aren't expected to be finished until 2030.
