I definitely support adding Newcastle as a geographic category. My main 
reason is because we now have someone on the ground there as part of the 
collective / posting stories about the area.

I'm not sure about central coast and south coast, I'll have to think on 
that for a bit. In that same sense we could have a 'Blue Mountains' 
category as well. It certainly might make it more inclusive of people in 
  those surrounding areas.

Yes! The view that generates that wire currently grabs any story that is 
categorized in 'News' and 'Sydney Basin'. We would just add 'Newcastle' 
to that.
