The NSW Government’s Regional NSW Investment Attraction Package offers a range of incentives to attract new and growing businesses to regional NSW, including direct access to an investment concierge for expert and tailored support, grants and interest-free loans, and relocation assistance for skilled workers.
Investment Concierge Service
The Investment Concierge Service provides end-to-end support for businesses wishing to set up or expand their operations in regional NSW. The service acts as the interface across NSW Government agencies to provide tailored advice to businesses about opportunities, sites and relevant government assistance available.
Financial Incentives
Eligible businesses can apply for grants and interest-free loans to help establish themselves in regional NSW and create new jobs.
Grants and interest free loans will be available for businesses that are operating in eligible industries and creating or retaining jobs in Special Activation Precincts.
Relocation Assistance for Skilled Workers
Relocation grants of up to $10,000 per worker are available to help attract skilled employees to regional NSW businesses operating in eligible industries. These will help businesses meet the costs of relocating employees, such as for furniture removal and temporary accommodation for up to three months.
Grants are available for businesses relocating to regional NSW and businesses already operating and expanding within regional NSW, to assist with the costs of relocating skilled workers in an occupation on the NSW Department of Industry Skilled Occupation List from metropolitan areas to regional NSW.
For more information and to appy, contact the Department of Industry’s new Investment Concierge Service for regional NSW.
