Funding Priorities

From the Mayor and Acting CEO

The Port Macquarie Hastings region is a place of opportunity, innovation, and resilience. As one of the fastest-growing regions in New South Wales, our community is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to ensuring that the infrastructure, services, and economic foundations of our region continue to support our residents, businesses, and visitors - both now and into the future.

This document outlines the key projects identified as essential to our region’s long-term success. These projects reflect our shared vision of a liveable, sustainable, and connected community and highlight the critical investment required from federal and state governments to bring them to life. From improved transport networks and vital community infrastructure to initiatives that enhance economic growth and environmental sustainability, each priority aligns with our strategic commitment to delivering real and lasting benefits for our region.

Strong collaboration between all levels of government is essential to making this vision a reality. As we advocate for the funding and resources needed to support our community’s aspirations, we invite all candidates, elected representatives, and stakeholders to join us in shaping a future that reflects the needs and ambitions of the Port Macquarie-Hastings region.

We are proud to work alongside our community to create a place that is not only a beautiful location to call home but a thriving, innovative, and well-connected region that continues to grow and prosper. Together, we can build a future that delivers on the promise of a stronger, more sustainable Port Macquarie-Hastings.
