The Newcastle suburb of Georgetown is in for a major facelift, with council approving a multi-million dollar upgrade overnight.
Work will start in coming months on a new landscaped pedestrian plaza, improved footpaths, street furniture, lighting and street trees to improve safety and amenity for pedestrians and cyclists.
Council has committed $9.9 million next financial year to revitalisation projects in the East End, Hunter Street Mall and local town centre upgrades at Orchardtown Road, New Lambton and Georgetown.
