When is the best time of the year to plant tube stock natives?
We intend to buy a couple of hundred Grevilia, Banksia, Callistermons etc.

Our property (Hunter Valley area) has concrete type clay with
rocks/pebbles.

Should I dig a larger hole (6") and put some good soil in to establish the
plants?

before you buy hundreds of a kind, test if your soil/conditions
are suitable for a particular plant. I can grow anything except
banksias in my garden for example, whereas a friend of mine
had every single grevilla she'd planted die on her.
Clay soil isn't a very good type of soil, better find out what
natives don't mind it, or what grows naturally in that area.
