APPROVAL OF RICHMOND VALLEY REGIONAL JOB PRECINCT MASTER PLAN A MAJOR BOOST FOR BUSINESS AND JOB CREATION: WILLIAMSON

The approval of the Richmond Valley Regional Job Precinct Master Plan is a major boost for business and job creation in the Richmond Valley, according to Nationals Member for Clarence Richie Williamson.

“This is an exciting milestone for the Richmond Valley and a testament to the hard work of Richmond Valley Council and the strong advocacy of the former NSW Nationals in Government, who initiated this precinct in 2021 as part of a broader plan to drive economic recovery and regional investment,” Mr Williamson said.

“The NSW Nationals have always backed regional job growth, and this master plan is a direct result of that commitment. It provides a strategic planning framework, backed by expert studies and technical information, to give businesses and investors the confidence to establish or expand their operations right here in the Richmond Valley.

“With a strong, diverse, and resilient local economy, the Richmond Valley region offers unique opportunities for growth and expansion across key sectors including freight and logistics, advanced manufacturing, circular economy, recycling, and agribusiness.

“The master plan will further solidify the Richmond Valley as a key centre for food production and manufacturing, creating long-term benefits for local communities and the broader economy.”

The Richmond Valley Regional Job Precinct is poised to attract investment, create jobs, and position the region as a leader in sustainable industries for years to come.  It will benefit industries like the Richmond Valley Industrial Estate, which received $9.9 million from the former State and Federal Coalition governments to provide key infrastructure such as road access.
