Port Authority is the epicentre of Newcastle’s busy working harbour, ensuring the safe navigation of thousands of commercial vessels each year. As one of Australia’s largest ports, Newcastle plays a critical role in supporting shipping and trade, keeping the Hunter region connected with the world. 

We’ve invested in the community with initiatives like the award-winning Macquarie Pier refurbishment, preserving Newcastle’s maritime heritage, and supporting Newcastle’s cruise industry, bringing visitors safely in to shore to explore the region’s stunning coastline and vibrant city.  

Whether you’re exploring the scenic trails of Nobby’s Headland or enjoying Newcastle’s thriving food and drink scene along the harbour foreshore, there’s plenty to discover in this dynamic port city.
