RDA Hunter is part of the national RDA network, established and supported by the Australian Government to champion regionally significant initiatives that drive economic growth.

We work collaboratively to attract investment in the Hunter’s people, places, services and industries. We generate evidence and local insights to guide economic development, facilitate meaningful engagement among stakeholders, and communicate opportunities for growth and diversification—all to deliver strong, lasting outcomes for our region.

RDA Hunter’s vision is for the Hunter to be a thriving, innovative and economically diverse region, defined by vibrant, well-connected communities. We work towards this vision by pursuing opportunities that harness our natural assets, strengthen social and economic infrastructure, foster innovation and support the growth of a skilled, homegrown workforce.
