Region. Launch of jobs report

A Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Council’s (WSROC) commissioned report on employment strategies for the region will be launch on Wednesday, March 11, at the Crowne Plaza Parramatta. The report identifies strategies for the generation of a net additional 280,000 jobs for Western Sydney over the next 25 years, a goal set by the Metropolitan Strategy to ensure adequate employment opportunities for Western Sydney households as Sydney grows towards five million people. The report was undertaken by a consortium of leading researchers led by the Urban Research Centre at the University of Western Sydney. The report was commissioned by WSROC for the NSW Department of Planning.
