Our Regional Advocacy
Our statutory mandate outlines our role to provide regional leadership for the Hunter region, and to be an advocate for strategic regional priorities. Our Board has identified the following shared advocacy focus areas.
Our Shared Priorities
Economic evolution to achieve net zero
We want to partner with State and Federal Government to achieve their vision for a net zero future, where we can evolve and diversify the economy, and reuse the mining lands (post mining land use) for new businesses in the Hunter Region to remain the largest regional economy in Australia.
