At IAF Pacific, we are looking forward to seeing the results of the upcoming Hunter Community Alliance (HCA) 2025 Annual Assembly—a powerful gathering of civil society leaders, community members, and decision-makers focused on housing, energy, and climate action ahead of the Federal election.

A Moment to Demonstrate People Power
This Assembly is not just another event—it’s a show of strength, unity, and action. HCA has been organizing, listening, and building coalitions across the Hunter region to ensure that the voices of everyday people shape the policies that impact their lives.
This year’s Assembly will feature:
A roll call of organizations, highlighting diversity and collective power
Community testimonies, sharing real stories of housing struggles, energy costs, and climate impacts.
Negotiations with key politicians, ensuring that election commitments translate into real, post-election action.
With Minister for Energy and Climate Change Chris Bowen (ALP) already confirmed, this is a critical opportunity for the Hunter region to push for bold commitments on affordable housing, renewable energy, and a just transition.
Why This Assembly Matters
Hunter Community Alliance is leading the way in non-partisan, community-driven action—proving that when people come together across faiths, unions, and organizations, they can hold decision-makers accountable.
This is how democracy should work:
Ordinary people, influencing decisions that shape their future.
Organized action, pushing beyond election promises to secure real commitments.
Diverse communities, coming together for the common good.
This is not a debate—it is a strategic, carefully planned negotiation where the community sets the agenda. Questions have been sent in advance to political representatives to ensure focused, actionable commitments.

At IAF Pacific, we stand with Hunter Community Alliance as they continue to build power, demand accountability, and create a future shaped by the people, for the people.
