Why Newcastle?
People are continually asking “Why Newcastle?”.
Wellman Strata has recently opened a Newcastle office after managing schemes in the area for over 12 months. We see huge potential for the Hunter region and we're here to be part of the transformation.
Here's the top 11 reasons why we're here:
1. It’s beautiful
2. It’s emerging from a slumber
Newcastle has not experienced a period of continued growth for decades. It's now two years into an estimated decade long boom.
3. The landscape is rapidly changing
Newcastle is transforming from a large regional centre into a city in its own right.
4. It has everything you need
a. Services (hospitals, transport, education)
b. Airport (soon to be international airport again)
c. Beaches (heaps of beaches - our picks are Merewether and Bar Beach)
d. Cafes/bars - some of the best in Australia (Merewether Surf House is unbeatable for a summer cocktail)
e. Location - 40 mins to the Hunter/Port Stephens, 2 hours to Sydney CBD.
5. We like it here
10 minutes by car to most places, head to the beach before/after/during work, unwind on the weekend.
6. People appreciate a job well done
It's been enjoyable working in Newcastle as there's a real appreciation for putting in an effort/going that extra mile.
7. There’s opportunity here
See the Colliers DA map above. Thousands of future strata owners who need a great strata manager.
8. You can park at the beach. It also costs $2.60 per hour to park on-street in the middle of the city
9. We’re specialists in managing the type of developments Newcastle has upcoming
Wellman Strata specialises in large and complex multi-stratum developments - there's an increasing number of these being built by local and Sydney-based developers.
10. Climate – it’s always a degree or two warmer than Sydney
Best climate in Australia according to those in the know...
11. Did we mention it’s beautiful?
