About Up

The Upper Hunter region of New South Wales supplies resources, engineering and agriculture locally and to the world. It is made up of the Singleton, Muswellbrook, Dungog and Upper Hunter local government areas, with its industries supplying 60% of NSW’s power.

As sectors, businesses and communities evolve and adapt, the region has revealed its unique and significant advantages. Solid infrastructure, a skilled workforce, available land and education will see the region step proudly into the future.

The Upper Hunter region community take pride in supporting local businesses, driving community projects, and showcasing innovation.

This portal is an initiative of the Upper Hunter Economic Diversification Action Plan developed by State and Local Government through consultation with industry and community. ‘Up’ is the theme of the portal and represents a region which provides untapped potential for development and growth.

The portal provides resources for investors, local business and community; a place to share the stories and the passion, to provide a window into services and information to support the future.
