See the Newcastle Now Restoration Project of Cottages 2 & 3 Stage 1. More than just restoring the building, this project helped restore lives by incorporating a work-for-the-dole scheme and skills program with Corrective Services. Through this project past offenders have increased their employability and taken pride in working on such an iconic location.

Watch the change from uninhabitable buildings to a beautiful restoration and hear from some of the people involved in the project. We’re pretty chuffed to have helped document this unique part of history on Nobby’s Headland.
