More than 20 Hunter residential developments apply for streamlined status
More than 20 large residential developments in the Hunter have been put forward to the government's new Housing Delivery Authority (HDA), in an effort to boost local housing supply by streamlining the planning process. In less than six months, 22 Hunter projects have been submitted to the HDA. Of those, 12 have been assessed and four have been declared a State Significant Development which if approved would create more than 400 dwellings in total. A 12-storey, 140-apartment complex has been proposed for the old Channel 10 building on Darby Street, while the Ibis Hotel at 700 Hunter Street could be demolished to make way for 165 units. The plans for a medium-density 56-unit building in the heart of Nelson Bay and a 50-apartment building on the corner of Maitland Road and May Street in Islington have also been declared state significant. NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure secretary Kiersten Fishburn said the HDA take up by Hunter developers had "been quite extraordinary". "Historical data shows there are typically 80 to 100 developments of this nature submitted each year across the state, so to already have 22 in the Hunter alone is not an insignificant amount," Ms Fishburn said. The HDA assessed developments against specific criteria including being well located and free of constraints, while applications with an affordable housing aspect will be "looked upon favourably". Once declared state significant, projects must begin the planning process within nine months. Once approved, construction must start within two years. Ms Fishburn, who also sits on the HDA panel, insisted the process was not a "tick and flick" and several Hunter applications had already been knocked back. The HDA is expected to work hand in glove with the Transport Oriented Development (TOD) program, which allows for six- to eight-storey apartment buildings within 400 metres of selected train stations. Developers are yet to show any interest in the nine Newcastle and Lake Macquarie TODs, however Ms Fishburn is not concerned. Sydney TODs had recently seen a "rapid response" from developers and she "anticipated much the same in the Hunter". "It only came into place nine months ago, so it takes a while for any rezoning or planning change to take effect," she said. "Developers need to find the land, purchase blocks and get a development application together, which all takes time." The only TOD to show progress in the Hunter is Cockle Creek, where a plan led by the state government would deliver 1200 medium-density homes on the 12-hectare site next to Costco if approved. Ms Fishburn hoped the project, which is being developed by the government's Hunter and Central Coast Development Corporation, would be a shining example of what could be achieved within the region's TODs. "The beauty is when we've got government land, it gives us the opportunity for a best-practice development," she said.

Former BYU golfer Patrick Fishburn savoring first chance to play in a major tournament
Patrick Fishburn from Ogden watches for his ball to land after hitting a drive during the Utah Open at Riverside Country Club in Provo on Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024. | Brice Tucker, Deseret News The way Patrick Fishburn sees it, not making the cut at the PGA Tour's Myrtle Beach Classic last week was a blessing in disguise, even if it was his third-straight missed cut in as many weeks. Shortly after shooting 73-74 at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club in South Carolina to miss the cut by a bunch, Fishburn packed his bags, jumped into a car with his caddy, Alex 'Big Al' Riddell, and made the three-hour drive to Charlotte, North Carolina, for this week's 107th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Golf Club. Advertisement Fishburn, the former Fremont High and BYU golf star from Ogden, is playing in his first major golf championship, beginning Thursday at a course he was unfamiliar with until getting in a practice round Sunday when he could have still been playing back in Myrtle Beach if he had made the cut there. 'It's not a golf course that you would want to play blindly,' he said, noting that it was so rainy Monday that he couldn't get out on the course. In his second season on the PGA Tour, Fishburn is 71st on the PGA Championship Points List, but only the top 70 players are guaranteed spots in the second major of the season. However, he got in when Billy Horschel had to withdraw after having hip surgery. 'Obviously, you grow up in golf dreaming of playing in the majors, so this is a dream come true,' Fishburn said. Advertisement Fishburn, 32, is one of two Utahns in the 156-player field, joining former Salt Lake City resident Tony Finau, who will be playing in his 36th major and 11th PGA Championship. Fishburn and Finau, 35, played a practice round together on Tuesday. Fishburn tees off on No. 10 Thursday at 5:16 a.m. MDT with Andre Chi and Seamus Power. Finau, who tied for 18th in last year's PGA Championship at Valhalla in Louisville, Kentucky, tees off on No. 10 Thursday at 6:33 a.m. MDT with Nicolai Hojgaard and Max Greyserman. 'I am so excited to play,' Fishburn told the Deseret News on Tuesday. 'I think this golf course sets up well for me. It lends itself to some of the strengths I have and allows me to play the way I like to play.' Advertisement Obviously, the 6-foot-4 Fishburn, who grew up on a horse farm outside of Ogden and was a high school basketball star at Fremont High before serving a two-year church mission in Nashville, Tennessee, loves the monstrous 7,626-yard layout at Quail Hollow because he's one of the longest hitters on the PGA Tour. 'It is an unbelievable venue, probably the biggest property I have played a tournament on. It is massive,' he said. 'I have heard multiple people say this is the closest thing to Augusta National that they have played. I believe them, from what I have seen. It is a really impressive place.' Fishburn won the Utah State Amateur in 2016 and the Utah Open in 2017 before turning pro in 2018. He earned his PGA Tour card prior to the 2023-24 season and is currently 107th in the FedEx Cup standings and 114th in the Official World Golf Rankings. He's had two top-10 finishes in the 14 events he's played in 2025, tying for sixth at the Sony Open in Hawaii in January and tying for fifth at the Valero Texas Open a month ago. Just making the cut at par-71 Quail Hollow would be a big accomplishment, but he's not focusing on any particular results this week. Advertisement 'I am more caught up in the process of things than the results. I just know that if I do certain things with each shot, I have a good feeling it will lead to something good,' he said. Fishburn said he's had some issues with his putting the past few weeks, but believes he figured out the problem on the practice green the other day: a putter that has the wrong loft and the wrong lie angle. 'So that was kind of a big thing to discover,' he said. 'Some little tweaks I have made around the greens, just chipping and putting and just scoring the ball the last two days have really helped. 'So I think I have the game to be in the hunt. You never really think of winning or what place you are going to take,' he continued. 'I just know if I play the way I am capable of playing, it will be good enough to be involved on Sunday, even though I have no experience playing in majors and I have no idea what to expect.' Advertisement To make up for his inexperience in majors, Fishburn has leaned on his three best friends in golf: Finau, Zurich Classic teammate Zac Blair and veteran PGA Tour player Daniel Summerhays, who, like, Fishburn and Blair, also played for BYU. Summerhays is rehabbing this season and will be in Charlotte this weekend to provide more advice and mentoring. He placed third in the 2016 PGA Championship. 'I lean a lot on all those guys. They have been huge mentors for me,' Fishburn said. 'Asking questions and getting advice is something I have done for a lot of years. I haven't been afraid to learn from really everyone. There is so much to learn in golf and I try to pay attention to how guys are approaching shots and puling them off. Those guys have always been extremely good to me in providing information and being mentors for me. I am lucky to have those three guys to look up to.' Advertisement Along with Summerhays, Fishburn will have his parents — Steve and Peggy — and some old high school friends cheering him on in North Carolina, as well as his agent, Rob Despain, and former Ogden Golf & Country Club pro Craig Sarlo. His wife of eight years, Madison, won't be able to make the trip because she is eight months pregnant with the couple's third child. 'What a proud moment for Utah and the Fishburn family,' Despain said on his Fishin' for Birdies podcast recently. 'It is definitely a milestone in Patrick's career.'

PGA Championship: How Utahns Patrick Fishburn and Tony Finau fared in the first round
Tony Finau hits his tee shot on the second hole during a practice round for the PGA Championship golf tournament at the Quail Hollow Club, Wednesday, May 14, 2025, in Charlotte, N.C. The Utah native finished the first round Thursday at 1-under. | David J. Phillip, Associated Press Former BYU golfer Patrick Fishburn has a lot of work to do if he wants to make the cut in his first major golf championship. Meanwhile, former Salt Lake City resident Tony Finau is in good shape to play this weekend after shooting a 1-under 70 on Thursday in the first round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Golf Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. Advertisement Starting on the 10th hole Thursday morning, Fishburn made birdies on holes 14 and 15 to get to 2-under, but from there it was a bogey-filled nightmare for the Ogden native who is in his second season on the PGA Tour. Fishburn, 32, made six straight bogeys after the hot start, then also bogeyed holes 6 and 9 and posted a 6-over 77 in his first round. Finau was tied for 23rd and Fisburn was in 134th place at 1 p.m. MDT Thursday with most of the field of 156 still out on the course. Another golfer who struggled in the morning wave was former PGA champion Phil Mickelson, who carded an 8-over 79. Playing in his 36th major and 11th PGA Championship, Finau is looking to make the cut in the PGA for the ninth-straight year. He tied for 18th at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, last year, fading on the weekend a bit after a great start. Finau also started on the back nine Thursday and was 1-over at the turn; he birdied the difficult 454-yard No. 2 hole to get to even par, then bogeyed No. 3 before making birdies on two of his final six holes. Advertisement Friday, Fishburn will tee off at 10:41 a.m. MDT with Andre Chi and Seamus Power. Finau will start on the No. 1 tee at 11:58 a.m. with Nicolai Hojgaard and Max Greyserman. Finau, who is still seeking his first major championship win, is No. 43 on the FedEx Cup points list, while Fishburn is 107th.

PGA Championship field: Who will be teeing it up at Quail Hollow
The PGA of America unveiled on Tuesday morning the field for next week's 107th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy and defending PGA champion Xander Schauffele are among those scheduled to compete in the year's second major championship. Surprisingly, No. 125 Rickie Fowler received an invite; there are 13 pros ranked ahead of Fowler in the Official World Golf Ranking who are not in field, which is traditionally filled with players ranked inside and just outside the top 100 in OWGR. The PGA criteria also states that the PGA 'reserves the right to invite additional players to complete the field.' Sixteen current LIV players will tee it up at Quail Hollow: Richard Bland, Dean Burmester, John Catlin, Bryson DeChambeau, Sergio Garcia, Tyrrell Hatton, Dustin Johnson, Martin Kaymer, Brooks Koepka, Tom McKibbin, Phil Mickelson, Joaquin Niemann, David Puig, Jon Rahm, Patrick Reed and Cameron Smith. Lucas Herbert, Sebastian Munoz, Carlos Ortiz and Marc Leishman all were not invited to compete, though all currently sit top 10 in LIV's individual standings. Victor Perez, at No. 109 in the OWGR, is the highest-ranked player not in the field. No. 110 Patrick Fishburn is first alternate, and with Billy Horschel announcing he's about to have right hip surgery, Fishburn will surely be bumped into the field. There are two spots that will either go to winners of the Truist Championship and Myrtle Beach Classic, or if those winners are already in, the PGA will pull from the alternate list, where Fishburn is followed by Rico Hoey, Michael Thorbjornsen, Perez and Alex Smalley, in that order.
