NEW (Newcastle) VOR

Now that the NEW has been withdrawn, is there now a GPS waypoint in it's place also called NEW? If not, how come we are still getting IFPS approved flightplans routing via NEW? I received one last week routing north and the first point on the flightplan was NEW. I queried with my Radar controller (as I was in the Tower and received a clearance of "left turnout on track NEW"), and Radar wasn't too sure either. The clearance was subsequently amended to "Left turn on track NZ" (I think).

Anyone from Newcastle able to help on this one? I can't remember seeing anything in the AIP to clarify either way, and since then have just forgotten to look!


Cheers
