Ocwen Energy submits $21m proposal to Newcastle council for a service station, drive-through restaurant, and chemical storage facility in Hexham, NSW.

Ocwen Energy has submitted a $21m proposal to the Newcastle council for a service station, drive-through restaurant, and chemical storage facility in Hexham, NSW. The development plans include subdividing two lots on Maitland Road near Sparke Street, with the first lot housing a service station, restaurant, and parking, and the second lot serving as a warehouse for oil and flammable liquid storage. In 2019, concerns were raised about vehicle access, traffic, parking, stormwater, and wastewater management. Ocwen Energy has since addressed these concerns and met with Transport for NSW to discuss access, deceleration lanes, and the Hexham Straight Widening Project, which will widen Maitland Road.
