“Whether you are planning to renovate or build, a first home buyer, investor or someone looking for inspiration, attending the show will ensure you see the very best of the home, lifestyle and building sector, and best of all it’s free to enter,” said Craig Jennion, HIA Hunter Executive Director.
“All attendees will have the opportunity to go into the draw to win the major prize on the day, a $20,000 stone package courtesy of Edstein.”
The event will include live seminars and demonstrations by centre exhibitors, all day colour consultations compliments of Bristol and cooking demonstrations. You can also meet the HIA team at the ‘HIA You’re in Good Hands Stand’, with information about apprenticeship pathways, industry training and HIA Membership benefits available.
For visitors seeking expert advice, the HIA ‘Ask an Expert’ areas will feature free consultations with leading HIA members. Visitors simply need to arrive and make an appointment at the Show, but don’t forget to bring your plans, a notepad and your ideas.
The HOMESHOW has always been a family-friendly event, and this show will be no different with lots of free children’s entertainment including games, face painting, a roving magician and a special guest appearance from Bob the Builder. All your food and beverage needs will be covered with a sausage sizzle BBQ in support of HIA Charitable Foundation and a fresh coffee van onsite.
Mr Jennion said, “with the diversity of exhibitors and experts available, attendees will be able to compare an enormous range of products and services all under the one roof.“If you’re thinking of starting a project or are in the middle of one and need advice on how to proceed, the HIA Home Inspirations centre continues to be the premier destination for Hunter renovators, new home buyers and trade,” Mr Jennion concluded.

The latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) show that while new home building approvals in the ACT have lifted slightly in 2025, the pace of growth remains far too slow to meet the territory’s housing needs.
HIA have been lobbying for changes to streamline the process which will allow certifiers to issue Certificates of Occupancy (CoO).
“The positive impact of a decline in the cash rate hasn’t been sufficient to drive a genuine recovery in home building,” stated HIA Senior Economist Tom Devitt.
