ASPA 2025: Advancing Active Futures

Join leaders in research, policy and practice for ASPA 2025 in Newcastle, Australia — a vibrant forum to share evidence, build partnerships and drive real-world impact across the Asia-Pacific.

A City That Blends Coast and Culture

From its surf beaches and ocean baths to buzzing laneways and historic venues, Newcastle offers the perfect backdrop for ASPA 2025.

Once a steel town, it’s now a thriving, walkable city where coastline meets creativity — and where the City Hall venue sits at the heart of it all.

Heritage Setting, Modern Impact

Newcastle City Hall is one of the city’s most iconic buildings — a heritage-listed sandstone venue with marble staircases, sweeping balconies, and fully accessible spaces.

Located minutes from the beach and waterfront dining, it’s the ideal home for ASPA’s flagship event.
