Digital Innovation Precinct For Newcastle CBD

BY IAN CROUCH

Premier Mike Baird is in town today to announce plans to turn the Newcastle C.B.D into a digital precinct.

There will be free Wi Fi, high speed broadband, cutting edge smart parking as well as a dedicated innovation hub to be built at the corner of Auckland and King Streets aimed at attracting new industries and jobs to the region.

The state government is putting almost $10 million dollars into the project, with a further $8 million coming from Newcastle City Council and the University of Newcastle.
