Project overview
The Albury Regional Job Precinct will build on the NSW Government’s existing investment in the NEXUS Industrial Precinct to create a hub of manufacturing, agribusiness and freight services and deliver more jobs for the region.
An action plan is being developed to outline recommended changes to the local planning framework to provide the local council, communities, industry and businesses with greater confidence around future investment and development. Technical environmental and planning studies will investigate around 1,200 hectares of land within the Albury Local Government Area, including the NEXUS Industrial Precinct.
Regional Job Precincts will deliver faster planning approvals to provide local councils, industry and businesses with greater confidence around future investment and development.
All Regional Job Precincts are being delivered as part of the $4.2 billion Snowy Hydro Legacy Fund.
