Cessnock City Council is calling on the NSW Government to consider a location along the Hunter Expressway for the proposed new Lower Hunter Ξ Artist impression of the proposed $400 million Metford hospital Hospital. The new health hub is set to provide residents of the Hunter better access to healthcare and relieve pressure on Newcastle’s John Hunter Hospital, however current plans are for the hospital to be built at Metford. Cessnock City Councillor, Paul Dunn said building the new facility at Metford will not achieve these key goals. “A true regional hospital needs to be accessible to all residents in our community, including those living in outlying areas”. “ Putting the hospital along the Hunter Expressway will provide for the most direct route as the majority of the population boom is on the west side of Maitland”.

The factors are interacting; the fabric of the past is closely woven. In this attempt to understand the Shire's past, and thus its present landscapes and material culture, the subject has been divided into nine themes focusing on key aspects of the Shire's development, and these themes are interrelated in order to reflect the past holistically, as a "fabric".

  • Huntlee Subdivision – (MP 10 0137 MOD 8) Request for Information from Tfnsw
    NL150007 30th June 2017 Huntlee Pty Ltd Mr Glenn Swan PO Box 199 BRANXTON NSW 2335 Dear Glenn, Re: Huntlee Subdivision – (MP 10_0137 MOD 8) request for information from TfNSW As requested we have reviewed the correspondence from Transport for NSW (TfNSW) relating to the submission to modify the approval of the development (MOD 8). Further to this correspondence, we provide the additional information below on a number of points made by TfNSW regarding road design and Bus Stops within the development. The design of the Huntlee development with regard to Public Transport has been guided by the DCP and the ‘Huntlee Stage 1 Bus Servicing Strategy’ completed by Hyder and dated 18th November 2013 (BSS). A copy of this strategy is contained in Annexure A. Based on the BSS the development will be designed to ensure final Bus routes / transit lanes encompass the following: • Lane widths of 3.5m. It is note that some interim lane widths are shown in the BSS as being 3m wide with parking; • 3m reserved for Bus bays; and • Turning movements to accommodate 14.5m Buses including intersections and any traffic calming devices. Further to the above, the BSS identifies both interim and final bus networks within the development including locations for Bus Stops. Below is an extract from this report showing the proposed Stage 1 Bus route through the development. Figure 1 also shows the proposed location of Bus Stops and a 400m radius from each stop, which depicts the walkable. Based on this figure the walkable catchment of each stop covers the vast majority of the development area in Stage 1.
