Coming in 2019, Newcastle is eagerly awaiting the construction of a purpose built Port of Newcastle Cruise Terminal. The new structure will be situated over 3000 square metres in the stunning heritage suburb of Carrington. The Government Funded project will also include dedicated car parks, enhanced wharf infrastructure and improved accessibility for ship provisioning.
A Revitalising Venture – Newcastle Cruise Terminal
Over $13 million will be spent on updating the existing cruise terminal, encouraging some of the greatest liners in the world to continue to stop right at our front door step. The projects are a key part of Newcastle’s revitalisation and will contribute around $26.7 million to the local economy. The build will see an additional 76 jobs throughout construction and flow on effects. The Newcastle Port is currently used by a number of Cruise companies, as well as emergency repairs upon large Cruise ships on their way to Sydney Cruise Terminals. The prospect of being home to many cruise liners will see Newcastle’s now flourishing tourism and business economy boom.
Newcastle Connections extends the services of both Private and Shuttle Bus Transfers in the case of current emergency Cruise ship departures and arrivals, and will be further extending these services to a full time basis upon the completion of The Newcastle Cruise Terminal. We are excited to play host to the thousands of new and revisiting guests to walk the shores of Newcastle and eagerly await the grand opening.
