Four new job precincts are planned for regional NSW to increase business and stimulate local economies to recover from drought, bushfires and COVID-19.
Minister for Regional NSW, John Barilaro announced the first of four Regional Job Precincts would be established at the NEXUS Industrial Precinct in Albury.
“We need to drive investment to our regions, create new jobs and help our State to thrive again,” Mr Barilaro said.
“The formation of a Regional Job Precinct in Albury will see the NSW Government work with Councils to reform existing planning processes and speed up development while maintaining existing environmental considerations so businesses can invest, create new jobs and boost the local economy,” he said.
“The Regional Job Precincts are part of the NSW Government’s Special Activation Precinct program, initially with four established across the State, based on site suitability and potential to deliver strong economic benefits.”
Mr Barilaro said further locations for Regional Job Precincts would be announced in the coming months.
MP for Albury, Justin Clancy said the new Precinct would be a game-changer for job creation and industry investment in Albury and its surrounds.
“Albury’s enviable location along the major transport corridor between Sydney and Melbourne means there are incredible opportunities in freight and logistics, agribusiness and manufacturing industries in the NEXUS Precinct,” Mr Clancy said.
