Region. New business parks proposed

The Western Sydney Parklands Trust has made a submission to the Department of Planning & Infrastructure for business parks at Eastern Creek and Horsley Drive. The sites could attract more than $200 million private capital investment and provide more than 1100 full time jobs and a further 750 construction jobs, according to Suelleen Fitzgerald, director, of the Western Sydney Parklands Trust. The Eastern Creek site, in the Blacktown LGA, would target retail business, while the Horsley Drive site, in the Fairfield LGA is for high-tech businesses.
