The federal electorate of Newcastle, located in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, is a historically significant and diverse area centered around the city of Newcastle, Australia's seventh-largest city. Established in 1901, it is one of the country's oldest electorates and has traditionally been a Labor stronghold, reflecting its industrial roots in coal mining, steel production, and maritime industries. The electorate encompasses urban, suburban, and coastal communities, including parts of Lake Macquarie and the Newcastle coastline, known for its vibrant cultural scene, beaches, and port. Key issues in the electorate often revolve around economic diversification, environmental sustainability, and infrastructure development, as Newcastle transitions from its industrial past to a more diversified economy. The current Member for Newcastle is Sharon Claydon of the Australian Labor Party.
