Newcastle's $1.4bn construction boom
PROJECTS worth $246.5 million on Hunter Development Corporation's books for early this year are set to provide a stimulus for the region.
The major spending boost follows a busy 2009, in which the $95 million Lee Wharf stage three residential development was completed, parks built and new commercial tenants moved in to Honeysuckle.
The corporation paid consultants $207,915 for work on the Newcastle City Centre Renewal Report.
It recommends building a new bus and rail interchange at Wickham, creating a city university campus and moving the justice precinct.
