Newcastle is Ready For Global Take-Off
On October 21, Jetstar will launch the region’s first ongoing international flight service outside Australasia, connecting Newcastle directly to Bali and, through Denpasar, to over 40 countries worldwide.
This milestone, announced by the Federal Government and backed by the NSW Government’s Aviation Attraction Fund, marks a significant moment for the region’s future. With a brand-new international terminal, Newcastle Airport is becoming a gateway to global trade, tourism, talent, and long-term investment.
“The Minns Labor Government is proud to have worked with Newcastle Airport and Jetstar to secure Newcastle’s first ever international route outside of Australasia, signalling the start of a new era of growth for Newcastle and the Hunter region.”
— Steve Kamper, Minister for Jobs and Tourism
Why the Hunter’s Global Gateway Is Fuelling Long-Term Property Growth
The Hunter Region is on the rise—fast.
According to the Hunter Regional Plan 2036, it’s already the leading regional economy in Australia, home to more than 860,000 people, with that number projected to grow to 1.1 million by 2036. This transformation is being fuelled by:
-A growing metropolitan footprint
-Expanding infrastructure and housing corridors
-A diversifying economy
-New global gateways—most recently, international flights from Newcastle Airport
Backed by the NSW Government’s Aviation Attraction Fund and supported by a brand-new international terminal, this is more than a travel convenience—it’s a strategic leap that opens the Hunter to global trade, tourism, talent and long-term investment.
And as the region takes off, so too do our customers—many of whom are perfectly placed to grow with it.
Unlocking Opportunity: What This Means for Investors and First-Time Buyers
Our Managing Director, Minh Hoang, explains:
“We’ve believed in the Hunter for the past nine years and have been building here ever since. We were drawn to its strong economy, proximity to Sydney, and excellent housing affordability. Even before COVID, we saw people leaving major cities in search of a better lifestyle—and that trend has only continued.
At Haverton Homes, we take a long-term view when it comes to investing and development, and the Hunter region aligns perfectly with that mindset. With its diverse employment base and major infrastructure projects like the airport upgrade and the Maitland Station redevelopment, the Hunter’s future remains incredibly promising—even without the potential Sydney–Newcastle high-speed rail link.”
The region’s growing infrastructure and government support make it appealing for both seasoned investors and first-time buyers alike.
In fact, starting in January 2026, the new 5% Deposit Scheme will allow eligible first-home buyers to purchase with just 5% down, no Lenders Mortgage Insurance, and no income cap—thanks to a 15% government guarantee. This is a game-changer for anyone looking to enter the market.
