This is NOT Lissachatina fulica. It is a harmless native species found widely through SE Qld and NE NSW. Really need to see a better photo showing the whole shell but there is enough in this image to identify to genus/species.
Sphaerospira fraseri

It is probably Bradybaena similaris Family Bradybaenidae (Camaenidae) 'Asian Tramp Snail' or 'Asian Tramp Snail'. Invasive horticultural pest from China.

These Hunter Valley Sauroconcha have not been studied in any detail (ie molecular sequencing and anatomy) so I have just suggested Sauroconcha middenense as this species is thought to occur in Newcastle and environs
