Regional NSW

Regional NSW communities make a significant contribution to the State's economy. They are resilient, and by working in partnership with people living in these communities the NSW Government is supporting them to remain sustainable and to grow.

NSW Trade & Investment provides a range of special services and programs to assist the regions of NSW meet the challenges that confront them. These challenges are most effectively met through a partnership between government, businesses and communities.

As economic conditions change, the Department has programs to address both longstanding and emerging economic development issues in regional NSW.

NSW Trade & Investment works actively to build a stronger State by delivering services to regional enterprises, industries and communities. It also recruits new investment to regional areas of NSW.

There are 19 NSW Trade & Investment offices around the State, and the Department also supports the Regional Development Australia committees.

Regional NSW is supported by the Regional Industries Investment Fund.

The NSW Government is also working to create jobs in regional NSW through the Jobs Action Plan, and to attract people to move to regional areas with assistance available through the Regional Relocation Grants.
