Heart of Walker
Development of the Heart of Walker will provide key services and facilities to serve the local area in line with the aspirations described in the Walker Riverside Area Action Plan.
The Heart of Walker Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) was adopted by Newcastle City Council on 26th March 2009. The SPD adds detail to the aspirations set out in the Walker Riverside AAP. To view the SPD and associated documents relating to the consultation process please look at the Heart of Walker SPD page.
Throughout the process for developing the Heart of Walker from an idea to the current pre-delivery stage, the local community and support groups have been involved. Please look at the pages that tell the story of One Big Month and Placemaking.
Sharing Places in Walker
Residents of all ages have been getting involved in the design of public spaces for the heart of Walker. A group of young people worked with designers to learn more about public art and design. Meanwhile, a group of Walker people produced a film about what they want to see in the area.
