Westpac's ad shoot in Newcastle East blocked streets and 62 parking spots, sparking resident anger over poor consultation and repeated business disruptions.
Residents and business owners in Newcastle East are frustrated over a weekend film shoot for a Westpac advertisement, which will block streets and 62 parking spaces despite minimal consultation.
Though the City of Newcastle says it was legally required to approve the filming under NSW protocols and that access for residents and deliveries will remain open, locals feel overlooked and argue repeated disruptions from corporate events have harmed small businesses.
Some owners report significant income losses from past closures, and many criticize the prioritization of corporate interests over community well-being.
