A Thriving Community – Newcastle Great Park

Newcastle Great Park isn’t a collection of buildings. It is a collection of homes, businesses and people who come together to live, work, learn, collaborate and smile.

When the development is fully completed, Newcastle Great Park will offer over 4,500 homes that cater for every need. One of the primary aims of the Newcastle Great Park is to provide an alternative to those seeking to move out from Newcastle to live in the surrounding market towns or outside the Region. By providing quality housing solutions – from family homes and affordable housing to executive homes positioned in a unique environment, all within easy reach of the city attractions, Newcastle Great Park offers the perfect complement between city and country living, creating a true sense of community that provides something for everyone.

Development has progressed in a sustainable and phased manner around the social and physical infrastructure that has been delivered. Individual residential cells have progressed and as a result individual communities have formed all with their own identity with residents’ associations and a range of events and groups.

Newcastle Great Park will continue to develop in this way and create a real sustainable community. Following engagement with the individual communities it is apparent that there is a need for clarity in terms of information and responsibilities but most importantly the good news about the place we all live, work, play and relax.
