Business Sydney in conjunction with Business Western Sydney & Business Hunter hosted an exclusive luncheon in collaboration with DANTIA, Lake Macquarie City Council's Economic Development Company, bringing together over 90 senior business leaders to explore exciting investment opportunities just 90 minutes north of Sydney in Lake Macquarie.

We were honoured to welcome The Hon. Yasmin Catley MP, NSW Minister for Police and Counter-Terrorism, Minister for the Hunter, and Member for Swansea, as our special guest.

Tim Browne, CEO of Dantia, shared the region’s compelling advantages, a lower cost base, highly skilled workforce, strong infrastructure, and growing industries in renewable energy, advanced manufacturing, and tourism.

The Minister and Mr Browne were joined by Cr Adam Shultz, Mayor of Lake Macquarie, and Bob Hawes, CEO of Business Hunter, for a thought-provoking discussion on innovation, sustainability, and growth across the region.

Business NSW's CEO, Daniel Hunter moved the vote of thanks at the luncheon.

A huge thank you to all who attended, your engagement and insights made this luncheon such a success. Together, we’re building stronger connections between Sydney and the Hunter, unlocking new opportunities for investment and collaboration.
