From the Maitland Mercury report:
Central Maitland will be transformed into a hub of city living with 1300 affordable homes and major road upgrades kickstarted with a $11.3 million federal government grant.
The grant is the biggest government spend in central Maitland for more than 30 years and complements the council’s Central Maitland Structure Plan, which aims to create a housing market in the CBD for the first time since before the 1955 flood.
It will put life back into central Maitland; the people who live in these homes will have direct access to the railway as well as shops and services in the CBD.
