(g)  ensure that nominated heritage conservation areas retain their heritage significance.
Aim 2
To conserve and manage the natural and built resources of the City of Newcastle for present and future generations, and to apply the principles of ecologically sustainable development (ESD) in the City of Newcastle.
Objectives
Development should:

Aim 3
To contribute to the economic well being of the community in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
Objectives
Development should:
(a)  where possible create sustainable employment opportunities, and
(b)  contribute to a greater degree of economic and employment self-sufficiency in the City of Newcastle, its urban centres and its neighbourhoods, as well as in the Hunter Region, and
(c)  not jeopardise the ongoing operation and potential of the port of Newcastle, the adjacent industrial lands and the associated significant freight transport undertakings, and
(d)  reinforce the roles of established urban centres in their present hierarchy, comprising the city centre, the district centres and the local centres, as generally described in the Newcastle Urban Strategy, and

(f)  provide for home based businesses that are compatible with the character and amenity of the neighbourhood in which they are to be located, and
