It is part of the City of Newcastle local government area and was named after Lt. John Shortland, master's mate of the Sirius, the escorting vessel to the First Fleet.[2] The area is restricted in development growth due to surrounding wetlands.[3] EducationThere are two primary schools in Shortland, Shortland Public School and Our Lady of Victories Catholic School, both located on Sandgate Road. Shortland Pre-School and Hunter School for Children with Autism are located next to Shortland Public School. Margaret Jurd College, a Ministry of the Uniting Church in Australia, is a registered Non-Government Secondary Special School located on Sandgate Road. This school was established to support young people excluded from mainstream school. The adjoining suburb Callaghan contains the main campus of the University of Newcastle.
