Our Projects

Newstead 2021 supports a range of key projects for our community, underpinned by the Newstead Community Plan (2013). Find out more about how the Plan was prepared here. And download your own copy here. Lots of actions proposed in the Plan are underway, and some have been achieved. Not bad going Newstead!

Reviewing, revitalizing and most importantly implementing the Plan is a priority for Newstead 2021 Inc. We will keep adding new projects to our portfolio, so do get involved. Read more about our updated 2017 priorities here.
