Hunter Airports' Strategy Released

  • February 26, 2024

Our Hunter Airports’ Strategy project is now complete! The Strategy supports the Hunter Global vision for the region: The Hunter region is a globally connected and economically prosperous city-region, recognised as a key international gateway, providing its communities with a vibrant and unique lifestyle.

Proudly funded by the NSW Government, the Hunter Airports’ Strategy explores the critical role our region’s airports play in supporting essential service delivery across the Hunter region.

A prioritised action plan was developed to enable to region to unlock the opportunities of international connectivity at Newcastle Airport that will enable new investment, business diversification and local jobs.

Through extensive research and consultation, the strategy has determined four strategic goals for the Hunter region:

  1. Trusted transport solutions
  2. Multigenerational stability
  3. Preferred location for new investment
  4. Leadership and collaboration

 

The highest priority investment identified to unlock the value and opportunity in international air freight for the region is the construction of a cargo terminal at Newcastle Airport.

The strategy also identifies supportive activities to help ensure success and participation of freight movements across the region, including support for maintaining operations at all regional airports. The region’s airports face several challenges with regards to commercial sustainability and increasing encroachment. Additional activities have also been identified to unify economic development activities across the region to strengthen our influencing power.
