The Hunter of today is not the one you may be familiar with. We’ve grown up. With a population of 750,000, we are now Australia’s leading regional economy generating $60 billion in gross regional product.

The Hunter is not a rural or small centre. The Hunter of today is a region of significant status in our national economy. With support, we have significant capacity for further growth.

Together, we have an opportunity to take a leadership role in rebuilding Australia’s economy.
