There is an alternative ways to reinvigorate development without imposing towers on the old Town of Newcastle. Here is a comment from one of the petition signers. An organic form of remaking the Town is happening at the present. Many believe that the towers threaten this. "The heritage area of Newcastle's "The Rocks" had its deeply considered, established legal framework simply changed by law, despite the three precincts concept, "little Manhattan" west end; cultural, Civic; and east end, heritage, all served by highly efficient and functional stations. Imagine the southern shore of Sydney Harbour, of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, if it now had high rise. Yet unlike Sydney's "The Rocks", Newcastle's heritage area has a train connection right to it, with the jaded lucrative Sydney market, wanting a carefree, hands free one and two day get-away to a destination that already has so much and does not depend on a car for enjoying so much, a the economic driver par excellence. This has never been promoted." Petition supporter. Do you agree with this vision of the city? Fred Nile's Inquiry met on Friday in Newcastle. Two more sessions in late November.
