The 2007/08 year saw Hunter Business Chamber celebrate again the achievements of business through our annual awards. Whilst our winners included many respected and familiar names, some of our potential future leaders were also recognised.

The winners of the 2007 and 2008 awards are listed further on in this report. These companies together represent the best of the Hunter and show why the Chamber continues to have such relevance to business in the region.

They demonstrate how this region can attract some of the best known names in business, yet at the same time provide great opportunity for home-grown business people to succeed.

Their membership of the Chamber reminds us, however, that there are times when even the best can not do it alone. The networking, the lobbying, the advice and the advocacy the Chamber provides is clearly valuable and valued.

You will see in this report how the Board and committees operate to help bring about our common goal of helping to provide a climate in which business can succeed. The list of topics addressed is as diverse as the inter-trade site on the former BHP steelworks area and a campaign to try to attract funding for sustainable energy research in the region.

The volatility of financial markets and interest rate rises has impacted on members creating uncertainty. This uncertainty is always an unwanted influence in business. The Chamber finds itself in the same position as many of our members, in that it’s investments have been directly impacted by the world events of the past 12 months. The Chamber has maintained a conservative investment strategy, nonetheless there has been an impact.

Regionally, however, there have been positive signs for our strong economy with the announcement of a number of major projects developments including construction of the third coal loader, new wharves along the former steel works site and selected tenderers for the redevelopment of that site. We also see exciting plans for the continued development of what can only be described as our second major CDB, Charlestown, as well as the

redevelopment of the former Royal Newcastle Hospital site now underway and plans for the CBD of Newcastle.

Chamber members are involved in all of these projects and that is encouraging for business success.

The Chamber indicated to the NSW Government that if it proceeds to sell parts of the electricity system that some of the profits need to be directed into the Hunter.

The opportunity for private sector involvement in the energy sector opens doors for numbers of our larger companies and that in turn will open doors for many of their suppliers, our medium and small enterprises.

We again lobbied our local councils hoping to encourage most to keep any rate increase within the Government’s increase limit of 3.2%. We reminded councils that in the past year business has faced many interest rate increases, substantial increases in fuel costs and more.

I cite these examples to demonstrate the variety of work undertaken by the Chamber and take this opportunity to acknowledge the work of our Chief Executive Officer, Peter Shinnick, who quickly after his appointment earlier in the year embraced the work of the Chamber with professional enthusiasm and commitment. I extend on your behalf the appreciation of Chamber members to him and all our dedicated staff for their continued efforts.

I wish to thank also those who serve on our Committees and Task forces and my fellow Directors who give so freely of their expertise, their time and their energies for our common outcomes. Their advice and counsel, including the good governance and oversight they have of the Chamber’s operations, is very much valued.

Karen Howard President

The members of the Chamber elect a Board of Directors to set policy and direct the affairs of the organisation. The elected directors are able to appoint directors who in their opinion add particular knowledge, skills and experience in areas that are important to members.

During the year Director Pauline Tregenza of Fortre Corporation & Bob Cowan of Cowan Manufacturing resigned. Kylee Dare, a Partner at Lawler Partners accepted an invitation for a casual vacancy.

The Board appointed Peter Shinnick as the CEO. He took up that appointment in January 2008.

The Board has long had a successful system of committees and task forces through which organisational structures and members’ issues are addressed.

Committees that address organisational matters are:

Executive Committee: Chairperson Karen Howard

Audit and Governance Committee: Chairperson Bradley Wilson

Finance Committee: Chairperson Kylee Dare

Committees that address member issues are:

Defence Industry Committee: Chairperson Boris Novak Deputy Chairperson Paul Hankinson

Regional Infrastructure Committee: Chairperson Gillian Summers Deputy Chairperson Robert Monteath

Small to Medium Enterprise Committee: Chairperson Colin Scott Deputy Chairperson Brett Derwin

Awards and Honours Committee: Chairperson Kyle Loades

Business Development Sub-Committee: Co-Chairpersons Bradley Wilson and Kathie Heyman

Vocational Sub-Committee: Chairperson Bradley Wilson

From time to time the Board appoints special task forces to deal with short-term or specific issues and projects. Two taskforces dealing with Law and Order and Energy met during the year.

The list of those member companies and individuals who have generously given their time, energy and skills to serve on these groups appear later in the report. The Board again thanks them on behalf of the business community of the region.

Telstra Country Wide continued its much valued sponsorship as the Chamber’s Platinum Corporate Partner making possible many of the activities and services provided to members.

Newcastle Permanent Business Solutions was recognised once again as the Chamber’s Corporate Partner.

It is becoming clear that as we move through 2008 the matter of an Australian carbon trading scheme will dictate how business is done in the future.

Even the smallest member company will face decisions and costs that such a scheme will enforce.

For the Hunter the impact of a trading scheme that is not very carefully thought through will be damaging, and we will need all our energies and the advocacy of our members of Parliaments to ensure that those impacts are contained.

The Chamber will be working closely with members to understand the potential impacts and to represent your views as the process continues.

While carbon trading may dominate, it will certainly not be the only thing on our agenda nor has it been over the past year.

Just as there has been outstanding research undertaken in the Hunter into other sources of energy, so too is research into the production of clean coal, and the Chamber is lobbying for funding to be provided for such research and is actively campaigning with the University of Newcastle and CSIRO to bring the Clean Energy Innovation Centre to the Hunter.

Regional infrastructure remains a major concern to the Chamber. Each year the Hunter’s population grows, but we do so with the same level of support infrastructure such as roads and public transport. The Lower Hunter Regional Strategy talks of an additional 160,000 people yet we see little in the way of major roads and transport networks that will provide efficient and cost effective movement both for people and goods. The Chamber has combined with a number of other regional organisations and submitted to the Federal Government our list of demands.

Major private investment in capital works, including the expansion of the PWCS facilities and the establishment of the NCIG coal loader are welcome proof of the confidence of business to invest in our region. These projects will bring much needed jobs and encourage other investment to the Hunter. The Chamber has called for Government to similarly respond to complement the private investment in the region.

I am pleased to report that our work over the past year has encouraged more businesses to join the Chamber, with companies recognising that as a united voice we achieve results for business. Membership provides the income to enable the Chamber staff to provide better services, and we are looking at strategies to broaden our representation. This includes seeking greater representation from regional companies.

I want to express my appreciation to the Board for its direction during my first six months with the Chamber. The Directors work particularly hard on your behalf, and pursue the goals of business with vigour and commitment.

I acknowledge also the work of my staff members who provide an array of services including more than 70 functions, events and meetings each year which are so important to members.

Throughout the following pages you will read briefly about the myriad of issues addressed by the organisation in the past 12 months, and the names of many of the members who so willingly served on committees and special task forces to help achieve our common goals. I extend my personal thanks to them and look forward to their continuing contribution.

The following reports detail some of the matters addressed by the Board, committees, task forces and staff during the past year. They illustrate the diversity of interests of the membership.

Some are matters of wide interest to all in business while others are industry or even size specific. Topics addressed have been locally important while others are of national and international significance.

Gaining outcomes of such topics is possible only because individual members provide knowledge and skill to the combined package. The strength and success of the Chamber is achieved by its members working together for the common good as demonstrated in the following pages.

While this document reports on the activities of the Chamber during the financial year 2007-2008 there are also some references to matters outside that time frame but which make sense to report here. These include the 2008 Business Awards which were presented in August so this report acknowledges the winners across two years. There are also references to some matters where some initiates or outcomes for Chamber members overlapped the financial years.

Priority projects The Hunter faces many challenges in the next few decades not least that of providing places to live and work for more than 160,000 citizens who are expected to increase the region’s population to 800,000.

Already suffering what many believe to be inadequate regional infrastructure there is growing concern that without investment achievement of this target will be at risk.

There is clear evidence that the private sector has confidence in the region with major investment in new residential and industrial lands, particularly in the mid Hunter where so much of the residential expansion is expected. There is also major investment in regional commercial areas, including Charlestown and Newcastle CBD and in the industrial sector with the expansion of port related facilities.

The Chamber researched many options and established a priority list of works believed to be essential for future prosperity.

1. Completion of the F3 extension to Branxton

2. Development of the Glendale Interchange

3. Electrification of the rail line to the University

4. Operating the Hunter trains in the Hamilton to Newcastle sector in tram mode.

5. Replacement of the Swansea bridge

6. Development of a freight rail link between Fassifern and Hexham

7. Completion of State Highway 23

8. Development of the inter-trade site

9. The development of additional freight berths at Newcastle Port

10. The development of a level rail link either over or under the Liverpool Ranges at Ardglen

11. Connection of the F3 to the Pacific Highway at Hexham

12. Connectivity of public transport to the Newcastle Airport

The complete list of 12 Chamber infrastructure projects was presented to the former Minister for the Hunter, The Hon Michael Costa, MLC. Individual projects have been discussed with local Members of Parliament, the Federal Government and other stakeholders.

The Chamber is confident that some of these projects will be approved and funding allocated in the near future.

Port related mattersThe Port of Newcastle helps underpin the economic strength of the region and there are strong signs of further expansion and potential for import and export sectors.

the work of the chamberIn the private sector PWCS and NCIG have begun construction of major coal loading facilities to meet the increasing world demand for Hunter coal.

In the public sector, there has been some disappointment for the Hunter with major investment in other NSW ports ahead of those planned for Newcastle but other projects are progressing. Among these is the work of Newcastle Port Corporation in ensuring larger ships are able to access the port more quickly as well as considerable work for new berths along the foreshore of the former Steel works site at Mayfield. The Government has also progressed the re-use of that site through the complex process of identifying appropriate development.

Law and orderThe Hunter is not unique in its concern about law and order issues in business districts, particularly where those districts also serve as major entertainment precincts.

In efforts to reduce vandalism and anti social behaviour that has been costing businesses hundreds of thousands of dollars a year the Chamber linked with local authorities, the NSW police, our members from the Hotel industry and community groups to help find solutions.

The Newcastle Central Business District is the region’s premier entertainment precinct, the regional commercial and legal capital, and a major residential area. The Chamber will continue to work with these stakeholders to address the issue of law and order in our region.

Sustainable energyThe Chamber and its members support moves to sustainable solutions and indeed many lead the way in technology and research that will identify and make available such solutions.

The Chamber has put to both the NSW and Australian Governments that investment in research into sustainable sources could be no better placed than in the Hunter where outstanding work is already being conducted at some of the nation’s leading institutions including the CSIRO and the University of Newcastle, and by those in the energy sector including Macquarie Generation.

The Chamber’s Energy Taskforce will continue to work with Members of Parliament to win further investment in the region in this field.

InvestmentFor some time the Hunter Business Chamber has been calling for additional freight berths and rail infrastructure to the Newcastle Port, which handles 33% of the State’s exports and has the capacity for more. Additional berths will allow the aluminium, wheat, cotton, wine, metal, sands, and heavy manufacturing equipment that is sent to Sydney and Brisbane to leave via Newcastle. This will bring jobs and wealth to the Hunter.

Newcastle has Australia’s fastest growing airport, with one million passenger movements in 2007 and a further 40% growth expected in 2008. Newcastle Airport, which sits on the fifth busiest air route in the world, is underutilised. Airports generate business and recreational travel and are hubs of freight movement. The wine, horses, cut flowers, fresh agricultural products and seafood that are transported to Sydney for export could be exported from Newcastle Airport.

The Chamber has called on the Federal and NSW Governments to plan for major infrastructure spends at both the Newcastle Port and Airport. Both will benefit from investment in rail and roads to provide connectivity, and Port and Airport specific infrastructure to encourage business growth.

The review being conducted by Infrastructure Australia offers a major opportunity to speak out for investment in our key infrastructure assets.

Local GovernmentLocal Government is a key partner with business, and working cohesively with the 11 Local Councils in the Hunter is critical to achieving business success.

Business has faced many interest rate increases and substantial increases in fuel costs in the past year and these costs have cut deeply into margins reducing employment prospects.

The Chamber recognises that councils also face increases as roads and other infrastructure crumble but they should not take advantage of the captive customer base.

Business people need councils to facilitate growth, to stimulate business development and to service business needs.
