Newcastle law firm Mullane and Lindsay Solicitors has recently launched a corporate blog site to provide people with valuable local legal news.
The site will hopefully provide news on Newcastle lawyers and publish the latest information on family law, property law, commercial law and contesting wills.
Hunter Advantage, a new initiative to promote Newcastle and the Hunter Valley to the rest of Australia, was launched last week. The concept is headed by a consortium of prominent local business identities and will involve a national medi and online campaign aimed at bringing more business to the region.
Here’s the Herald’s announcement:
THE Hunter is set to go head-to-head with major growth regions like south-eastern Queensland to market itself as an economic powerhouse.
A new venture with private sector backing will be launched in Newcastle on Friday to send the message that the Hunter is open for business.
Called Hunter Advantage, the marketing project will combine a national advertising campaign with an internet site to build a strong case for business and industry to invest in or relocate to the Hunter and stimulate growth.
A group of intrepid social media fans have begun a weekly gathering in Newcastle. Its called Newcastle Coffee Morning and has been going for the last month. The team from Sticky Advertising took along their new FLIP video camera to help introduce you to the rest of the crew.
Come join in the fun every Friday at Baristaba Cafe at The Boardwalk, Honeysuckle.
Hunter Valley and Gunnedah based credit union Companion is showing their support for the community with the Companion Community Grants Scheme.
Companion have $20,000 available to be donated to the local community and are asking for members and the community for suggestions.
If you know of a not for profit club, group or charity, that could use a helping hand, why not nominate them to share in the grant scheme? Applications are open from 15 April to 15 May and nomination forms can be found here or you can pick one up at your local Companion branch.
This is Companion’s way of saying ‘Thank You’ to their members and the local communities serviced by their branches, and as a member you have a say in who gets the funds by getting involved.
So if you know of a sporting club, charitable organisation or community group that could use some extra funds, let Companion know.

Hunter-based home lender Companion Credit Union has led the way in passing on the Reserve Bank’s full interest rate cut.
Companion said yesterday it was slashing its home loans by the full reduction. Companion chief Ray O’Brien said the credit union’s interest rates were at a 30-year low.
He said the Hunter lender was one of the few to pass on the full 25 basis points.
“Our home loans now start from 4.97 per cent,” he said.
