Based on a 3-2-1 points system, the wicketkeeper-batsman collected the top gong for 2022-23 after finishing ahead of Wallsend's Nathan Price and Stockton's Adrian Chad.
Carter, one of the first-grade competition's leading run scorers, recently returned home to rejoin English county side Sussex and missed City's semi-final loss.
He's the second player from City to win the prize, following on from Mark Dries in 2010-11.
Wallsend, Newcastle and NSW Country paceman Pat Magann picked up representative player of the year.
Other awards went to Belmont's Joey Gillard (under-19 scholarship), Cardiff-Boolaroo's Austen Hiskens (under-16 player of the year) and Port Stephens' Jarrod Moxey (Suburban Districts).
City's Kirsten Smith received NDCA women's player of the year, now named the Sarah Griffith Medal.
