One of Newcastle's popular restaurant and cafe strips is about to undergo a trial of a 30km/hr zone.
Council has been awarded a $500,000 grant for the trail and streetscape activations on Darby Street - it's not clear yet when the trial will begin..
The grant comes from the latest round of the $20 million Streets and Shared Spaces program.
Maitland Council has also received $500,000 for its Maitlanes project to unlock public space in 7 CBD laneways, and Port Stephens has received almost the same amount for its William Street Urban Park project.
