新南威尔士州提议将下猎人区和中海岸区合并,以便在2026年至27年改善规划协调。 NSW proposes merging Lower Hunter and Central Coast regions to improve planning coordination by 2026–27.

新南威尔士州政府提出将下亨特和中部海岸合并为一个区域规划区,取代以前的"六个城市"模式,以改善协调并减少重复. The NSW government has proposed merging the Lower Hunter and Central Coast into one regional planning area, replacing the previous "Six Cities" model to improve coordination and reduce duplication. 新框架是土地利用规划更广泛转变的一部分,其目的是使六个地方政府地区的住房、基础设施和经济发展与2026-27年前的计划保持一致。 The new framework, part of a broader shift in land use planning, aims to align housing, infrastructure, and economic development across six local government areas, with the plan expected by 2026–27. 澳大利亚财产委员会支持这一行动,强调该区域的经济规模比澳大利亚首都地区、北部领土或塔斯马尼亚大,并呼吁更新《2036年大纽卡斯尔都市计划》,在基础设施和就业土地供应方面规定明确的时间表和具有约束力的里程碑。 The Property Council of Australia supports the move, highlighting the region’s economic scale—larger than the ACT, Northern Territory, or Tasmania—and calls for updating the Greater Newcastle Metropolitan Plan 2036 with clear timelines and binding milestones for infrastructure and job land supply. 公众反馈目前正在被接受。 Public feedback is currently being accepted.
