About us

Since 2017, Hunter Renewal has been bringing together the people, businesses, and organisations of the Hunter Valley to create a shared vision for a resilient, diverse, and thriving future.

Our project began as a collaboration between the Hunter Central Rivers Alliance and Lock the Gate, rooted in the belief that communities should have a strong voice in shaping their own future. We provide a platform for honest, inclusive conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing the region.

Our role is to bring people together, foster collaboration, and advocate for the plans, funding, and political commitment needed to support a just and sustainable transition.

We cannot wait for decline before we start planning what comes next. 

 

Our vision for the Hunter is clear:

  • Grow new industries and create quality jobs.
  • Protect and strengthen sustainable traditional industries.
  • Equip young people with the skills and opportunities they need to thrive.
  • Support coal workers to re-skill and transition into meaningful new roles.
  • Restore our landscapes to ensure clean water and productive land for generations to come.

Hunter Renewal is about coming together to imagine what’s next for the Hunter and making sure that vision becomes a reality. We invite you to join the conversation and be part of the change.
