Region. Special Economic Zone

An Urban Taskforce Australia report noted that Western Sydney has perceived disadvantages as a business location due to its distance from the Sydney CBB and its lack of critical infrastructure. The region is also seen as being the location for industrial activities and back-of-house jobs to the higher order jobs. The report proposed that the region be declared as a Special Economic Zone, where special initiatives are offered to businesses located in the area, and that the federal government’s Suburban Jobs program be expanded to support jobs in the region.
