Newcastle development boom spreads to Brunker Road strip at Adamstown, Broadmeadow

Newcastle’s inner-city building spree is spreading to the Brunker Road strip, where property developers are planning more than 300 new apartments across eight projects.

The redevelopments, with a total value of $75 million, are in various stages of planning and construction, led by GWH Build’s four-storey, $8.7 million Centrale apartment block emerging from the ground at 65 Brunker Road, Broadmeadow.

“Newcastle is not known for its architecture. You go to Brisbane and they’ve got beautiful architecture. We’re getting better, but traditionally we’re not super dooper.”
