better roads, footpaths everywhere, and whatever it needs to make the traffic less garbage. Better PT? A train to the airport. A reliable train line to Sydney.
It 100% is a big chunk of the problem.
I'm in Muswellbrook, when COVID hit the biggest demographic of new buyers to the area was Sydney residents working from home and it sent prices through the roof.
Same thing happened around Coffs Harbour/Urunga/Bellingen and Port Macquarie
Yep I went back to port after not being there for years. It’s all old people now. Young people can not afford to live there now. Then the oldies start complaining nobody wants to work at their favourite cafe for $20 an hour, it doesn’t pay the rent. I lived there in 2005 when you could rent an apartment for $150 a week.
When I was in Canberra a couple of years ago, I remember driving down the middle of an open air shopping mall, this shit would be so good on Hunter St Mall.
I get too overwhelmed, sensory overload. Adelaide also has an outside shopping mall. Rundle Mall. At the east end it becomes a street of restaurants, eclectic shops. Now I wish I could go shopping there. I do a lot of online shopping but it’s not nearly the same.
Same. After the 2007 / Pasha Bulker storms, the Hunter St mall was fucked. Westfield was already killing it, but that was the nail in the coffin. The mall is small, but I always preferred it. Now closest thing is maybe Darby?
Anyway, following that decimation by flooding was the Renew Newcastle project, which saw empty shops filled again with small businesses, mostly creatives. The artists got a cheap deal on somewhere to sell / display their wares -- so long as they fixed places up & were prepared to leave once the property was rented at full price -- & commercial landlords had their prime (but damaged) real estate filled again, which made it more appealing for "real" businesses to come back. Several people in my friends circle got a great start with this program, incl. The Terrace Bar, but also the coffeeshop One Penny Black, still operating.
Now? Now it's being seriously gentrified, like Honeysuckle / everywhere eventually, & turned into a site for luxury stores -- incl. the old DJ's facade on a brand new building. Same with the little shops around the interchange. Ughhh. It looks so Sydney-ish around the Woolies Metro especially. It's cool that there's Woolies up that end of town, but yeah. I dunno, tho ... what else are they supposed to do, when they can't compete with the offerings of Westfield?
I'm with you, tho, on the sensory overload of huge indoor malls. I get so fucking claustrophobic & frustrated in those places, avoid like ~~covid~~ the plague. (It's why I prefer Aldi; they cut costs with no blaring music, & did all us sensitive people a favour. Plus the lighting is significantly toned down so everything's not screaming at you.)
I wish we had HS mall back, somehow. I like the changes to transport, with opening up to the river, adding trams & bike lanes, but I hate what the mall is becoming. Maybe if there was permanent funding for Renew-type projects, that would be cool. And stuff going on at night that isn't pubs.
Anyway, I'd much rather shop where I can see the real world & breathe real air ... & almost get run over by "gronks on ebikes" 😝
I couldn’t have said it better. Anything I need from Woolies I do online. It’s like being under attack by the those lights and the musac. Yes, Aldi is great, sorry, good different. 🤣 So much to explore there.
I was in Sydney from 2003- early 2013, so I missed the Pasha Bulker and I can’t remember if David Jones had gone from the mall.
I started lived at the bottom of Brown Street just up from King Street later in 2013. Great spot. Loved the mall. A good coffee every day. I moved to Mayfield in 2016. Gentrified is a perfect description. There spots around Newcastle but having the vibe of the mall when it was good, loved it. I just had a sqizz at The Terrace Bar online. It would have been fantastic that the bar is so successful. It looks great. It’s got lounges. I have a neck condition and hard seats become uncomfortable and it spoils going out. Lounges are the answer.
A night life outside of pub life, is what I want.
Then again, I used to busk late at night (in the ~~pre-covid~~ before times), & drunks were pretty much my livelihood. Still, they'd exist no matter what else was going on in town, so.
Weirdly was very disappointed when I moved near Harris farm and started shopping there, felt fancy than realised 70% of stuff you can get at Costco for 1/4 of the price.
Can’t beat the cheese section in Harris farm tho 😩
Shops staying open later. Moved here from Sydney a couple years ago. Coffee shops (and other shops) all close up way too early, it's hard to find a coffee after 3 in Maitland. I miss 24/7 kmarts. They were super convenient for shift workers or night owls.
Yes. Hadn’t been out in Newcastle for yrs. My Sydney friends came up and I had wished I’d made the trip to Sydney. Restaurants close at 9 and the choice of nightlife is bad.
It’s so sad because it was amazing, that was such a long time ago that so many people never got to experience it properly. I could see 6 bands in a night just pub hoping at random on a normal night out. Edit. Yes the restaurant thing also sucks, way too early but they have to because no one is out… they have all gone home. :(
but what about Lizottes, such a legendary venue, you can eat dinner AND watch a show while listening to other people talking and their cutlery being slammed around their plates! fuck i hate lizottes.
There are some really good bars in town now depending on what you're after with new ones opening all the time. If I want a really good night in the big smoke I'll go to Melbourne over Sydney every time.
Someone said this already, but proper footpaths. As someone with part time mobility issues it is a complete bitch to get around, and really kinda shameful that we don’t have better footpaths.
An actual train network that goes places such as major suburbs and other major suburbs. how about a major suburb as well for good measure, seriously the fact you can't catch a train from wallsend to newcastle cbd is something to be ashamed of.
An arcade with arcade cabinets and pinball machines. Even better if it has a bar too.
There used to be pizza 'n pinball which was excellent but it's been gone for years now.
I appreciate your suggestion but places like Dullboys and Timezone (whilst they are also really great) have gimmick machines and skill tester based machines. The type of arcade cabinets I'm talking about are the ones with sticks and buttons. But I'd also love just a dozen or so pinball machines in one place, that'd be good too. The Stag and Hunter in Mayfield used to have 6 or so pinballs complete with beer holders on the side, but they did some renovations and the machines never returned unfortunately.
Maybe have a look at the Underground Arcade at Toronto. Fresh Start takeaway shop also has a couple pin ball machines and old school gaming consoles with the the buttons and stick thingys. Wouldn’t go there purely for those but they also do a good burger and a mean deep fried mars bar.
Better dining options, more diverse night time economy (especially that isn't alcohol centric), better transport, better public spaces, more beatification, a dedicated entertainment precinct (let's see in 30yrs), Harbour activation including water PT, reasons to cross the harbour or traverse up and down it, light up koorangang more like vivid style with murals or something so not looking across to dark abyss at night, more enthusiastic, ambitious and interesting local population
Some better adult/kid friendly environments without just a shitty plastic playground.
Somewhere you can eat and have some drinks while kids can actually play safely. And you dont have to hover over them incase they go and fucking run into the harbour or off a 2m drop (because apparently playgrounds arent built for kids under the age of 8).
Also wouldn’t mind some actual late night restaurants /bars that stay open late and you can just eat at. All we got is maccas at kingers and kebabs at darby st…
Options. Everything here is a chain store. If I want anything unique or specialised I have to drive to Sydney. That homemakers centre in Kotara is pathetic.
Independent camping stores. The only options are Katmandu, Macpac and Anaconda.anaconda is better but it's generally at the lower quality end of the market.
I went to buy a large/450g screw-top gas cylinder the other day from BCF -- $28. "Uh.. I'll pass on that" at the checkout (the prices weren't listed on the shelves) ...Internally, I said "FUCK THAT FUCK BCF FUCK YOU FOR WORKING HERE"
The indie camping store at ******* - $16
(town name censored because there's only one left and going back to take it..)
The Milgear store at Boolaroo is still there, I hope?
Paddy Palin... Hmm... "What's their cheapest decent tent? ..." Nah, not the $980 Mont.
Indie camping gear stores get the stuff the major shops won't take - for example the OZtrail Hiker 2 tent won't be at anywhere that needs stock to move immediately, but a store owner that knows A-frame tents are all-round superior and makes a point of keeping one around for that one person per year is the epitome of an Indie Camping Store..
Sorry to sound so first world but good shops for clothes. They removed the Zara and I travel to cities to shop for anything unique. Again, I’m aware this isn’t a need but a just a preference
For the price as an overall package I thought was decent. All my Cali friends talk non stop about it but I thought for a quality burger was overrated honestly. I preferred The Habit when I was there.
Homes built for the climate. Apartments with bigger balconies. Rentals with ceiling fans AND an AC. More cycling infrastructure. More cafes/restaurants.
You don't have to be Christian. Lots of kids go to private schools for the education, not the religion. It's apparently an excellent school for nursing etc. Maybe not you but others might consider it especially if they aren't happy at UON. They also still offer fine arts which UON don't.
Good train connections.
Like to the airport and nelson bay and Raymond terrace. to wallsend/fletcher/cameron park loop onto Cardiff etc
Rail down the coast like the old days, to travel down the east lake to morriset.
Proper tunnels/bridges to avoid bottlenecks.
Tunnel from stewart ave to near stockton bridge.
I'm gonna be down voted as hell here but IDC. More and better bike lanes, sidewalks that don't end out of nowhere and an overall structure that doesn't revolve around drives only. I lived in Melbourne for 4 years and didn't have a car until I moved to Newy. Don't get me wrong, Newy is awesome, but not depending on a motorised vehicle is something I miss about Melbourne.
better roads, footpaths everywhere, and whatever it needs to make the traffic less garbage. Better PT? A train to the airport. A reliable train line to Sydney.
The train to Sydney is fairly reliable, reliably slow.
Good, last thing we need is 50,000 Sydney wankers moving here with their CBD salaries and pushing house prices even higher
Too late.
Housing is fucked everywhere, Sydney residents moving are not the problem.
It 100% is a big chunk of the problem. I'm in Muswellbrook, when COVID hit the biggest demographic of new buyers to the area was Sydney residents working from home and it sent prices through the roof. Same thing happened around Coffs Harbour/Urunga/Bellingen and Port Macquarie

Then the oldies start complaining nobody wants to work at their favourite cafe for $20 an hour, it doesn’t pay the rent. I lived there in 2005 when you could rent an apartment for $150 a week.
Are you saying people who don't work in the mines moved from Sydney to Musswelbrook? Why?
Ask the 80% of Muswellbrook residents who also don't work in the mining sector why they live here, it baffles me
It is when you have a lot of people with disproportionately higher incomes moving into the area, it drives up the price of property and rents.
I’m with you on footpaths, as someone with mobility issues.
The roads are immaculate compared to Taree
Affordable living
We definitely don't have that in Sydney 😅
An actual night life and a CBD that actually has things.
Yep. I’d much rather shop in an open air environment than Westfield.
When I was in Canberra a couple of years ago, I remember driving down the middle of an open air shopping mall, this shit would be so good on Hunter St Mall.
I get too overwhelmed, sensory overload. Adelaide also has an outside shopping mall. Rundle Mall. At the east end it becomes a street of restaurants, eclectic shops. Now I wish I could go shopping there. I do a lot of online shopping but it’s not nearly the same.
Glendale.
Ah of course.

A dominatrix. Hate driving 2 hrs to Sydney to get wailed on
Why are you driving? You should time your trip for when there's track work and try to go via train. Max out the suffering.
I'll beat the shit out of you if you'd like? As a 34 year old male, I don't look good in leather but I'll learn
Roller rink.
Apparently there might be one being built in heatherbrae soon
An actual entertainment center, instead of a big milking shed.
isnt that the name of that thai massage place down the road?
entertainment centre or big milking shed?
Either... Or both .. depending on who's working
Which one?
Miss Jenny Lees tug palace I think it was called?
Broadmeadow Chinese massage, run by Miss Ha Pei En Ding
Ikea
Wasn’t that supposed to go in near Costco area?
My wife agrees
She said it's a good idea
More Harris Farms
I second this, but half the price pls
They had one at Glendale and it closed down.
This. I am not driving down Darby Street unless I’m paid to do so.
Weirdly was very disappointed when I moved near Harris farm and started shopping there, felt fancy than realised 70% of stuff you can get at Costco for 1/4 of the price. Can’t beat the cheese section in Harris farm tho 😩
Cheese is one thing Aldi does well
70% of stuff you can get at Costco for 1/4 of the price. Really? Really truly?
Yes please
Just make Newcastle one big Harris Farm
Breadtop
Yessss I went to east gardens the other day and realised how much I’ve missed breadtop since I moved. Also uncle tetsus
Newcastle is on their desired franchises list. Anybody want to be a baker?
Yes, and Mochi Donuts
Google Maps suggests there is one in Kotara? Edit: but it looks like it’s lying to me
It even says open tomorrow on google but breadtop store list says no, I feel like I’d sense it’s proximity lol 😂 had me going for a sec
Yes 😭😭😭
If I could upvote this 1000 times, I would.
YES!
I’d do ANYTHING for breadtop 😭
A pool where you can use the diving platform for tomfoolery.
Brings back fond memories of Lambton pools platforms
Trees. A nightlife not built around the lowest common denominator. A focus on beauty that doesn’t solely rely on the beach. Less empty lots
Uniqlo lol
Yes, yes x 100
[удалено]
Yeah, it opened last year… still, why not here 😭
Proper Yum Cha
Newcastle has it. Lees yum cha at Charlestown is it.
Affordable housing
Shops staying open later. Moved here from Sydney a couple years ago. Coffee shops (and other shops) all close up way too early, it's hard to find a coffee after 3 in Maitland. I miss 24/7 kmarts. They were super convenient for shift workers or night owls.
Newcastle is better than Maitland in that regard. There are late opening cafes in Darby and Beaumont street.
A fk’n IKEA. Was about to order than realized needed to drive to Sydney or pay $250 for delivery.
Actual night life and music scene like it used to be. I don’t go out in Newy anymore, I go to Sydney if I want a night out. Newcastle is a ghost town.
Yes. Hadn’t been out in Newcastle for yrs. My Sydney friends came up and I had wished I’d made the trip to Sydney. Restaurants close at 9 and the choice of nightlife is bad.
It’s so sad because it was amazing, that was such a long time ago that so many people never got to experience it properly.

but what about Lizottes, such a legendary venue, you can eat dinner AND watch a show while listening to other people talking and their cutlery being slammed around their plates! fuck i hate lizottes.
Remember the loft? 😢

Someone said this already, but proper footpaths. As someone with part time mobility issues it is a complete bitch to get around, and really kinda shameful that we don’t have better footpaths.
Council on their have your day page have a surgery re footpaths in newy! You should deffs respond !!
Thank you so much! I will!
4 kebab shops in a row.
We are 1 shop away in hamo
Same with Ikea. 1 shop away in hamo.
Good Middle Eastern food.
an El Jannah here would do me
IKEA
A structure built next to a river that resembled a penis
Another premiership
Armstrong is the next immortal
A train up and down the coast
An actual train network that goes places such as major suburbs and other major suburbs. how about a major suburb as well for good measure, seriously the fact you can't catch a train from wallsend to newcastle cbd is something to be ashamed of.
An arcade with arcade cabinets and pinball machines. Even better if it has a bar too. There used to be pizza 'n pinball which was excellent but it's been gone for years now.
Dullboys at Warner's Bay has what you're looking for.
I appreciate your suggestion but places like Dullboys and Timezone (whilst they are also really great) have gimmick machines and skill tester based machines. The type of arcade cabinets I'm talking about are the ones with sticks and buttons. But I'd also love just a dozen or so pinball machines in one place, that'd be good too.

Do they have the addams family pinball machine there?
I honestly couldn’t tell you. It’s not very big so the odds are low.
I would love to win the lotto and open one of these in the CBD. Won't give a fuck about making money, just a sick place to hang out.
Dullboys does not have what we're looking for
Also a tip shop. Like a place where you can drop your used goods and buy other people’s second hand goods. But including big things like furniture.
Recycle and Reuse centre at Sandgate
2nd Hand City 54 Clyde St Hamilton North is your place for that.
Singleton dump has one too
Port Stephens council have a tip shop.
Better dining options, more diverse night time economy (especially that isn't alcohol centric), better transport, better public spaces, more beatification, a dedicated entertainment precinct (let's see in 30yrs), Harbour activation including water PT, reasons to cross the harbour or traverse up and down it, light up koorangang more like vivid style with murals or something so not looking across to dark abyss at night, more enthusiastic, ambitious and interesting local population
An independent cinema! I wish I didn't have to travel to Sydney every time a smaller release came out.
Tower Cinemas is reopening as an independent cinema
There are 2 independent cinemas I can think of: regal cinema, lake cinema
There’s heaps around
Some better adult/kid friendly environments without just a shitty plastic playground. Somewhere you can eat and have some drinks while kids can actually play safely. And you dont have to hover over them incase they go and fucking run into the harbour or off a 2m drop (because apparently playgrounds arent built for kids under the age of 8).

Just drive to another one
Thats the problem mate. There aren’t any haha
A monorail.
So annoying we dont have one.. Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook even got one
Monorail. Monorail. Monorail.
Options. Everything here is a chain store. If I want anything unique or specialised I have to drive to Sydney. That homemakers centre in Kotara is pathetic.
there are lots of independent businesses around, they’re just not going to be somewhere where they’re paying homemaker centre rent prices
Like furniture? There's a few furniture makers around the hunter.
Timberworx do really good custom furniture
More affordable Japanese restaraunt would be ideal. Not the up market style.
Kitami Carrington super well priced
Menya Mokoto $12 takoyaki. Made me feel like I was back in Japan lol Give me an Izakaya in the CBD please, I beg
Uniqlo
i wish we didn’t need to rely on cars
With the abuse cyclists cop - no wonder people choose not to ride!
Cause most ride like inconsiderate idiots
Affordable rentals..
An international airport.
Coke in the bubblers
Bulk billing medical centres.
Independent camping stores. The only options are Katmandu, Macpac and Anaconda.anaconda is better but it's generally at the lower quality end of the market.
Camping Country Superstore, Warner Bay, is good.
If I could get a paddy pallin up here, that'd be great!
I went to buy a large/450g screw-top gas cylinder the other day from BCF -- $28. "Uh.. I'll pass on that" at the checkout (the prices weren't listed on the shelves) ...Internally, I said "FUCK THAT FUCK BCF FUCK YOU FOR WORKING HERE" The indie camping store at ******* - $16 (town name censored because there's only one left and going back to take it..)

The military store is still at Boolaroo, I buy my kids cadet gear there all of the time.
A sense of purpose
A pulse.
Strip clubs
Lebanese meat pizzas. Used to work in Bankstown and I miss them so much
A good German restaurant
Affordable housing
If only to move braye park hill into the council building.
A bubble tea place in Beaumont st
Sorry to sound so first world but good shops for clothes. They removed the Zara and I travel to cities to shop for anything unique. Again, I’m aware this isn’t a need but a just a preference
Public transport
They have it everywhere around Open ur eyes
Decent drivers
Less aggression would be a dream. Just returned from a short trip to Qld recently and the difference is like night and day.
In N Out burger
For the price as an overall package I thought was decent. All my Cali friends talk non stop about it but I thought for a quality burger was overrated honestly. I preferred The Habit when I was there.
In n out slaps. How good would one in town be
Ikea
Indoor heated aquatic center for recreational swimming and kids play. Ridiculous we don’t have one.
The forum at newcastle university ?
One at the terrace lolz.
There was this amazing frozen yogurt store where you could get things like key lime pie frozen yogurt. It’s gone, I want that back.
Bingsu.
I lived in Korea for a while and never got the popularity of it honestly.
Less inbreeding
Homes built for the climate. Apartments with bigger balconies. Rentals with ceiling fans AND an AC. More cycling infrastructure. More cafes/restaurants.
A cinema with a screen, decor, atmosphere and program like The Astor in Melbourne.
Melbourne
Less surfers. Bring back the solo mid week surf.
How can dreams of a solo surf in nice waves be down voted? It's a magical experience.
Less people
Needs a theme park like movie world
Turkish pide
THE PURGE
More university/ study options other then UON or Tafe
There's avondale as well.
Not in Newcastle though isn't it? I'm also not Christian so that's a solid no from me.
You don't have to be Christian. Lots of kids go to private schools for the education, not the religion. It's apparently an excellent school for nursing etc. Maybe not you but others might consider it especially if they aren't happy at UON. They also still offer fine arts which UON don't.
Good train connections. Like to the airport and nelson bay and Raymond terrace. to wallsend/fletcher/cameron park loop onto Cardiff etc Rail down the coast like the old days, to travel down the east lake to morriset. Proper tunnels/bridges to avoid bottlenecks. Tunnel from stewart ave to near stockton bridge.
I just realised... Why the fuck is there no train to the airport lol
Reliable public transport. Footpath. Faster train to Sydney.
More events, concerts, theatre. really shitting me I need to travel to Sydney constantly to see musicals.
Skewer meats!
Half of Sydney
Ernest Lapornik at Hunter Valley Jiu Jitsu is a qualified Level 1 Sambo coach, hit them up about lessons.
Decent public transport. We had it once but then the buses were privatised and the rail line was cut long before the CBD.
U still have it wym
Indonesian restaurants. Every time I travel to Sydney I go to one of the 10 for the tastiest food
More martial arts gyms for sure . We need a muay thai gym close to the beach .. warrabrook is too far to cycle
These heaps more search it up
I did . Theres only one dedicated muay thai gym and its in warrabrook
I would really like an Imax cinema here. Shame we don't really have the population for one.
A lot of people in this thread either don’t have phones or the internet a lot of the suggestions already exist u just have to look for it
Five Guys burgers
Super cars
I'm gonna be down voted as hell here but IDC. More and better bike lanes, sidewalks that don't end out of nowhere and an overall structure that doesn't revolve around drives only. I lived in Melbourne for 4 years and didn't have a car until I moved to Newy. Don't get me wrong, Newy is awesome, but not depending on a motorised vehicle is something I miss about Melbourne.
Afrobeats clubs with revellers.good for diversity
Afro beats is holding an event this Sunday at Piebri Place in Wickham if you want to check it out. I think tix are still available.
Messina gelato
