Newcastle leaders support parking in park
A RADICAL plan to dig up parts of Civic Park and build a car park under the site has gained Newcastle business leaders' support.
Lord Mayor John Tate floated the idea at a Newcastle Business Club lunch yesterday, saying it was an "innovation" that could go a long way in solving inner-city parking woes.
Unlike the expected "furore" from some, Cr Tate received a warm reception.
"Once people understand that we're not going to obliterate Civic Park they see it in a different context," Cr Tate said.
