20-Year Regional Economic VisionRefresh
The 20-Year Economic Vision for Regional NSW, released in 2018, sets out the Government’s priorities and plans to achieve long-term social and economic success for regional communities across the state.
The 2018 Vision has been refreshed in response to the changed economic landscape and opportunities that have emerged in regional NSW following the drought, bushfires, flood and COVID-19 pandemic.
New England North West
New England & North West is a diverse economy and produces around one-fifth of NSW’s agricultural output. Recent climate events have impacted agribusiness and tourism, while the COVID-19 pandemic has temporarily delayed recovery efforts. To accelerate economic recovery, the NSW Government is investing in the Moree Special Activation Precinct, the New England Renewable Energy Zone and a wide range of infrastructure to meet local needs and to support the expansion of agriculture, mining, freight and manufacturing industries.
Three core strategies have been identified to capture the opportunities, manage risks and deliver on the vision for the Region:
A: Improve connectivity as a foundation for growth
B: Support and grow key sectors
C: Attract new businesses and residents to the Region.
REDS – Northern New England High Country
The Northern New England High Country Regional Economic Development Strategy 2018–2022 (the Strategy) sets out a long term economic vision and associated core strategies for the functional economic region (the Region) encompassing the Glen Innes Severn, Tenterfield Shire and Southern Downs Regional Council Local Government Areas (LGAs).
Economic research suggests that Regions are becoming increasingly specialised in the key engine industries that drive the regional economies and the region’s relative strengths (endowments) play a key role in determining these specialisations.
This Strategy is based on industry specialisations that leverage the Region’s key endowments, including its climate, location, productive agricultural land, transport infrastructure, renewable energy resources, tourism assets, and local institutions, to guide investment and actions over the period 2018 to 2022.
