While the Honeysuckle project area only takes in a small part of Hunter Street, it has transformed several key sites. It offers accommodation for visitors to the city at the Ibis Hotel as well as to residents at the Cove Apartments. The impressive Hunter New England Community Health Centre and a community park next to it are also products of the Honeysuckle project. These developments sow the seeds of revitalisation in Newcastle’s City West with the Hunter Street Precinct becoming a convenient and colourful mix of commercial, retail and residential uses.
