## History

[edit]

The Awabakal and Worimi peoples are acknowledged by council as the traditional custodians of the land and waters of Newcastle.[11]

Following the passing of the Municipalities Act 1858 by the New South Wales parliament, the Municipality of Newcastle was proclaimed on 7 June 1859. The new Municipality was divided into three wards – City, Macquarie, and Honeysuckle.[12] Eight years later, the Municipalities Act 1867 classified the Newcastle Municipality as a "Borough".[13]

The Greater Newcastle Act 1937 merged the City of Newcastle with 10 of its suburban municipalities to form the City of Greater Newcastle. The Act also transferred parts of the Lake Macquarie Shire and Tarro Shire to the new city.[14] The amalgamations and transfers took effect from 2 April 1938.[15]

The newly created City of Greater Newcastle was subsequently renamed to City of Newcastle on 23 March 1949.[16]

## Proposed amalgamation

[edit]

After a 2015 review by the NSW Government Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal found that Newcastle City Council was not "fit for the future", it was recommended that the City of Newcastle merge with Lake Macquarie City Council.[32] However, the Minister for Local Government subsequently proposed that Newcastle City Council instead merge with Port Stephens Council to form a new council with an area of 1,045 km2 (403 sq mi) and support a population of approximately 230,000.[33] The outcome of an independent review was completed by mid–2016. On 14 February 2017, the NSW Government announced it would not be proceeding with further regional council mergers, including the Newcastle City Council and Port Stephens Council merger.[34]

Symbolism
The escutcheon elements represent the status of Newcastle as a port city, with the blue waters projecting into the fertile green of the land. The gold chief and chevron represent wealth and fertility and the chevron also symbolises the beaches between land and sea. The Lymphad symbolises shipping and maritime trade. In the chief, the gold field also represents wealth and fertility, with a golden fleece for the produce and wealth of agriculture. The black lozenge represents the coal industry, upon which much of Newcastle's wealth is built, and the wheel represents the wheels of industry and trade. The compartment comprises sand and waves for the numerous beaches of the area, while the seagull supporters are a common aquatic bird of the city and are symbolic of the coastal position. The supporters are gorged (collared) by a mural crown to represent civic authority. The crest comprises a lighthouse upon a green mount representing the Nobbys Head Light on Nobbys Head, a prominent feature of the city that also alludes to the importance of shipping. The crest emerged from a gold Mural crown that represents civic authority.[44][45]
Previous versions
Following the proclamation of Newcastle as a city in 1885, the Council engaged James Sayers, Newcastle manager of the London Chartered Bank, to design a Council Seal. Sayers' design featured a shield surmounted by a scroll with the words "City of Newcastle" and another scroll beneath with the Latin motto "Finis coronat opus" ("The end crowns the work"). The shield featured Nobbys Head and Lighthouse, with three sailing ships, a loaded coal truck, and three bales of wool.[46][47] This badge was readopted in 1938 by the new City of Greater Newcastle with the amended council name.[48][49][50]
Other versions
The flag adopted by the Council features the full armorial achievement on a bicolour of the city's official colours adopted in 1923, Cinnamon Brown and Emerald Green   . The colours are those used by the 35th Battalion "Newcastle's Own Regiment".[45]
