Your Newcastle City Council

Your elected City Council members make the City’s plans and policies during open public meetings at City Hall. These meetings are a chance for you to get involved in local government and speak directly to the Council. Members of the public can share their thoughts during public hearings or during two open public comment times.

The City Council usually meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at City Hall, starting at 7:00 p.m.

Contact Your Representatives

The Newcastle City Council wants to hear from you! You can speak at meetings during public hearings or the two public comment periods.

You can also email the whole City Council at citycouncil@newcastlewa.gov.
