Hunter and Central Coast Development Corporation

We unlock, deliver and revitalise

HCCDC is a respected leader in delivering region-shaping outcomes on behalf of NSW Government. 

Our focus is on creating vibrant places with great spaces; providing more opportunities for housing and employment; and attracting investment, innovation and talent to the Hunter and Central Coast.

Our year in review: 2024-25  

We play a key role in delivering significant and complex projects that establish sustained growth and development.

In Newcastle, we lead the Honeysuckle Urban Renewal project, have delivered significant remediation and rehabilitation projects on former Steelworks land, and led the multi-agency Revitalising Newcastle program.

In Lake Macquarie, we are managing the transformation of Government-owned land at Cockle Creek to enable new opportunities for housing and economic growth, and are creating a new public space as part of the Safer Cities program.

And on the Central Coast, our work includes revitalisation initiatives in Gosford, including unlocking land for the University of Newcastle's new Gosford Central campus and the transformation of Leagues Club Park. We also manage the Mount Penang Parklands and have delivered significant upgrades to enable opportunity for the Parklands precinct to reach its full potential.

We have a long and proud track record of delivery in the Hunter and Central Coast regions.

Our objectives are to:

  • deliver strategic outcomes to grow economic capacity and enhance communities
  • drive industry diversification to grow more jobs to attract and retain talent to the regions
  • create engaging, sustainable and attractive public spaces, connected to better transport options
  • unlock opportunities and realise the full potential of government land and assets
  • respect existing character, culture and heritage
  • work in collaboration and partnership with community and stakeholders.
