(e)  ensure that archaeological sites and places of Aboriginal heritage significance are conserved, and
(f)  protect places and structures which have the potential to have heritage significance but have not been identified as heritage items, and
(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
(e)  contribute positively to urban centres being focal points for employment, particularly in the service sectors of the economy, 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

(b)  contribute positively to urban centres being places that are and will become more highly desirable places in which to reside as well as work, and
(c)  optimise the shared use of streets and parking facilities, while improving or creating a safe, attractive, friendly and efficient pedestrian and cycling environment.
Aim 6
To encourage a diversity of housing types in locations that improve access to employment opportunities, public transport, community facilities and services, retail and commercial services, and the like.
Objectives
Development should:

6   Method
This plan sets the framework for the achievement of its aims and objectives by:
(a)  defining zones and identifying those zones on a set of maps called the zoning map, and
