As part of our State Strategic Plan (PDF, 3.7 MB), Crown Lands is focused on strengthening community connections with Crown land. This will be done by revitalising underutilised sites.
We are doing feasibility studies on potential future uses for both the Morpeth Railway Station and Cessnock School of Arts sites in the Hunter Valley.
Investigation into both sites is in its early stages. We have undertaken targeted preliminary consultation through stakeholder surveys for each site. This initial feedback will help inform the options reports.
Further community consultation on the future of the sites will occur once the reports are completed and ready for feedback.
We will keep stakeholders informed via this webpage as the projects progress.
