Transport and Parking

PLAN YOUR TRIP

With extra trains, buses, ferries and light rail services running throughout the 3 day event, the easiest way to get to and from the Newcastle 500 is by public transport.

Valid pre-purchased event tickets (single day or package types) include travel to and from Newcastle on public transport, even if you’re traveling from Sydney.

You can find more information on transport options below or else head to the Transport NSW page for detailed timings and information.

PARK AND RIDE NOT AVAILABLE – McDonald Jones Stadium

Unlike the 2019 Newcastle 500, a park and ride option from Broadmeadow (McDonald Jones Stadium) to the circuit will not be available for the 2023 event.

Fans will, however, have a number of options to get to the track without missing a moment of the action.  

FERRY

Fans can park at Stockton Wharf and catch the ferry across the Harbour to Queens Wharf, where Gates 1a and 1b access is a short walk away.

Ferries between Stockton and Newcastle (Queens Wharf) will run frequently throughout the event.

Parking at Stockton is by donation. Rotary will be managing the parking area across the weekend. They are equipped with eftpos terminals and cash buckets with donations going to the Community Flood Relief.

There are almost 2000 car parks at Stockton Wharf and the car park will open at 6am each day.

TRAIN

In addition to the regular timetable, extra trains will run to help move crowds to and from Newcastle over the three days of the event, particularly in the early morning in time for race start and later in the evening to help fans get home.

The closest station to the Newcastle 500 track is Newcastle Interchange on the Central Coast and Newcastle and Hunter Lines.

From there, catch the light rail to Queens Wharf stop which is a short walk to Gates 1a & 1b or Gate 2 track entrances on Wharf Rd and Hunter St respectively.

More information about extra services will be available early in 2023 on the transportnsw.info website.

BUS

While roads are closed and circuit preparations are underway for the event buses in Newcastle East will be rerouted to alternate bus stops.

A number of additional bus services will run to get you to and from Newcastle over the three-day event. Some bus services will be affected by road closures and will be detouring from their regular routes or using temporary bus stops. Make sure to plan your bus trip ahead of time and check signs at stops.

Buses to and from Newcastle East will be diverting and using alternate stops while changed traffic conditions are in place before, during and after the event.

All services will be relocated to alternate stops on Bolton St from Monday 27 February and additional services on selected routes will run to help you get to and from the event. From Bolton St, Gate 2 on Hunter St and Gate 3 off Watt St are within short walking distance.

Further information is available here.

DRIVING

Catching public transport is highly recommended over driving directly into the Newcastle CBD

Motorists from Maitland, Port Stephens and the Mid-North Coast, should consider utilising the park and ride facility at Stockton Wharf and continue the trip to Newcastle via Ferry. Delays are expected on roads into Newcastle via the Hexham Bridge and Tourle St Bridge so factor in plenty of extra travel time as well.

Local roads within and surrounding the event circuit will also close during the event.
