NSW Minister for Industry, Resources and Energy Anthony Roberts will be the guest speaker at a Hunter Business Chamber forum on Tuesday.
Mr Roberts is expected to share his views about the importance of the mining sector to the Hunter’s economy, at the forum.
A chamber flyer for the event noted that mining continued to provide important benefits to the Hunter, given the resources sector and export volumes generated 25 per cent of the region’s economic activity.
Because of this, the chamber will continue to push for greater opportunities for success across the sector.
At Tuesday’s event, Mr Roberts will outline the NSW Government’s perspectives on the resources sector in the Hunter and the future opportunities for industry in the region.
The sold-out event will be held at Noah’s on the Beach, Newcastle, from noon to 2pm on Tuesday.
