Cessnock City Council is thrilled to announce the release of the captivating Hunter Valley Monopoly boardgame, featuring iconic locations from the picturesque Hunter Valley region.

More than 650 local residents helped to shape the properties and locations of the first-ever Hasbro-approved Hunter Valley edition, through a community survey in the second half of 2022.

Cessnock City Council Mayor Jay Suvaal said the limited edition is now available for purchase at the Hunter Valley Visitor Information Centre on Wine Country Drive, Pokolbin.

"The Hunter Valley Monopoly edition is a unique way to promote the Cessnock Local Government Area as a must-see visitor destination," Clr Suvaal said.

"With a focus on showcasing the Hunter Valley's exceptional tourist attractions, Hunter Valley Monopoly is a window into the region's rich heritage and remarkable visitor experiences.

"The innovative project aims to highlight the diverse array of activities and destinations the Hunter Valley has to offer.

"Don't miss out on the chance to secure your copy of this unique board game experience."

The Hunter Valley Monopoly board game stretches from the charming village of Laguna, nestled south of the Cessnock Local Government Area (LGA), all the way north to the serene Lake St Clair in the Singleton LGA. The game has been thoughtfully crafted to celebrate the unique allure of each location included.
