Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox Australian place The City of Newcastle is a local government area in the Hunter region of New South Wales, Australia. The City of Newcastle incorporates much of the area of the Newcastle metropolitan area.

The Lord Mayor of City of Newcastle Council is Councillor Nuatali Nelmes, a Labor politician.[1] Nelmes was elected at a by-election on 15 November 2014 following the resignation of Jeff McCloy, the former Lord Mayor.[2] The Awabakal and Worimi peoples are acknowledged by council as the traditional custodians of the land and waters of Newcastle.[3]

History

Following the passing of the Municipalities Act 1858 by the New South Wales parliament, the Municipality of Newcastle was proclaimed on 7 June 1859. The new Municipality was divided into three wards – City, Macquarie, and Honeysuckle.[4] Eight years later, the Municipalities Act 1867 classified the Newcastle Municipality as a "Borough".[5]

The Greater Newcastle Act 1937 merged the City of Newcastle with 10 of its suburban municipalities to form the City of Greater Newcastle. The Act also transferred parts of the Lake Macquarie Shire and Tarro Shire to the new city.[6] The amalgamations and transfers took effect from 2 April 1938.[7]

The newly created City of Greater Newcastle was subsequently renamed to City of Newcastle on 23 March 1949.[8]

Proposed amalgamation

After a 2015 review by the NSW Government Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal found that Newcastle City Council was not "fit for the future", it was recommended that the City of Newcastle merge with Lake Macquarie City Council.[10] However, the Minister for Local Government subsequently proposed that Newcastle City Council instead merge with Port Stephens Council to form a new council with an area of Шаблон:Convert and support a population of approximately 230,000.[11] The outcome of an independent review was completed by mid–2016. On 14 February 2017, the NSW Government announced it would not be proceeding with further regional council mergers, including the Newcastle City Council and Port Stephens Council merger.[12]
