The City of Newcastle will funnel $150,000 pooled from business rates collected from Hamilton, Wallsend and New Lambton toward projects that beautify and activate those suburbs' business precincts over the coming months.
Deputy Lord Mayor Declan Clausen and councillor Carol Duncan were at the soft opening of Hamilton's new Providore Market Saturday morning to announce expressions of interest were open for the next round of the council's Special Business Rate program, and encouraged local businesses and organisations to apply for a share of the funding.
