Cessnock City Council

Our region is home to close to 60,000 residents and the towns and villages within it are sustained by a diverse business environment, with a backdrop of our famous wine and tourism industry.

Cessnock has a long history of coal mining, manufacturing, construction, agriculture (e.g. grazing, poultry), viticulture and related tourism activities, all of which are still its primary employment sectors. Cessnock town centre is the administrative, retail and service centre for the city with Kurri Kurri town centre being an important secondary retail node and the industrial heart of the city.
