Penrith. Challenges to creating jobs

Ideas from a workshop attended by senior Penrith business leaders to discuss the key challenges to creating jobs in the Penrith economy, included: government support in reaching Penrith CBD’s jobs target of 11,000 new jobs by 2031; ensuring Penrith’s employment lands are developed in a timely and effective way to maximize industrial jobs growth; helping Penrith’s small business sector to grow: and creating more reasons for young residents and skilled professionals to live in the city. The ideas will form the basis of Penrith’s submission to the NSW Government. The workshop was organised by the Penrith Business Alliance (formerly the Penrith Valley Economic Development Corporation) in partnership with Penrith City Council.
