Honeysuckle Development Corporation (HDC) is a corporation owned by the Government of New South Wales with responsibility for a major urban renewal project on the harbourfront of Newcastle, New South Wales, the state's second-largest city.
Of the site, the corporation's webpage says:
- Welcome to Honeysuckle, the Hunter’s premier waterfront playground, where the glistening harbour meets the city in a stretch of land that’s home to bustling cafes, world-class restaurants and hotels, inviting public spaces, boardwalks, residential areas, a marina and busy commercial centres.
HDC was established by the state government in 1992 to guide redevelopment of disused industrial land on the southern foreshore of Newcastle Harbour. The 50-hectare Honeysuckle site is close to the city's central business district and, although not yet fully redeveloped, already contains a mix of new residential, commercial and public buildings.

“What I am anxious to do is to get the best bill possible with the least amount of friction.... I wish to avoid [splitting our party]. I shall do all in my power to retain the corporation tax as it is now and also force a reduction of the [tariff] schedules. It is only when all other efforts fail that I’ll resort to headlines and force the people into this fight.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
