A strong coalition of Hunter organisations is calling on the NSW Government to back a 50–50 funding agreement to secure the future of Tomago Aluminium — a critical employer and cornerstone of the region’s industrial economy.

Hunter Jobs Alliance joined 15 groups in urging the state to act, highlighting Tomago’s central role in supporting jobs, supply chains, and the Hunter’s clean energy transition.

“This is bigger than one site. Tomago supports thousands of workers, contractors and supply-chain businesses across the Hunter. The priority now should be constructive negotiations that provide certainty, unlock the clean energy infrastructure needed for the future, and secure a durable long-term solution for the region,” said HJA Coordinator Justin Page.
