Gorgeous Lake Macquarie views from Market St Cafe Wangi Wangi for networking breakfast on the 20th May. It was lovely to see new faces and regulars. Each location that we hold our events at brings our local businesses to the table for a chat.

Big changes are coming to super.

From 1 July 2026, you’ll need to pay super within 7 business days of payday, instead of quarterly.

That means every pay run will trigger a super payment, with changes to your payroll, cash flow and processes.

The good news, there’s free support to help you prepare.

The Small Business PEAK program has created practical guides, checklists and tools to make the transition easier.

Lake Macquarie has a proud mining history and, as a result, contains large areas of current and former mined land that will play a significant role in the future prosperity of the LGA. The city already has strong examples of beneficial reuse of former mine land, from projects such as BlackRock Motor Park at the former Rhondda Colliery, to major housing developments at Catherine Hill Bay, Redhead and Belmont. The Fernleigh Track is another example, having been established along a former coal rail corridor.

Together, these projects demonstrate how post-mining land transition can create lasting economic and community value.

Dantia advocates for the beneficial reuse of former mine sites to unlock employment-generating land, attract investment and maximise the value of existing infrastructure. This approach supports sustainable economic development, helps diversify the local economy and creates new opportunities for future generations.
