Newcastle Council is considering a proposal to expand its footpath network by at least 20 kilometers over the next four years, potentially increasing to 30 kilometers. Introduced by Labor councillors, the plan aims to fill critical gaps in social infrastructure and enhance accessibility to local amenities.
