CityServe is a unique initiative that embraces collaborative working partnerships between council, business and community organisations to benefit the community.

In 2012 in collaboration with churches across the region CityServe was established. Since that time hundreds of CityServe projects have been completed by thousands of volunteers. This has not only resulted in public parks, schools and other community facilities being given a ‘facelift’ but positive community partnerships.  In Jan 2016 CityServe was awarded the ‘Australia Day Community Organisation of the Year Award’ by Newcastle City Council.
