Postcode 2308 covers one NSW suburb, Callaghan. Most of its addresses fall in Newcastle LGA. Fair Trading publishes no rental bond figures for this postcode. Police recorded 133 criminal incidents in postcode 2308 in the 12 months to December 2025, against 138 the year before. That is a count, not a rate: it is not adjusted for residents or visitors, and a busy centre or transport hub can account for much of it. Transport regulatory offences, mostly fare and parking enforcement, made up 51% of the total.
