flag Jerry Schwartz appeals to the Land and Environment Court after Newcastle Council rejected his $25,000 carousel plan for the Rydges hotel, citing heritage and public interest concerns.

flag Property developer Jerry Schwartz is appealing to the Land and Environment Court after the City of Newcastle rejected his second attempt to install a $25,000, seven-meter-wide carousel at the Rydges Newcastle hotel. flag The council denied the August 2025 application, citing concerns over the ride’s visual impact, scale, and inconsistency with the foreshore’s heritage and scenic character, as well as minimal public benefit. flag Schwartz claims the revised design addressed prior feedback and would enhance local vibrancy, while the council maintains the project contradicts public interest and environmental standards. flag The case is now before the court.
