Region. Business parks south of the M4

The Parramatta-based Regional Development Australia-Sydney (RDA-S) recommends that business and technology parks be established south of the M4 to provide white-collar and technology job in Sydney’s west and south west to counter the number providing knowledge-sector jobs in the northern and north-west suburbs. “These [parks south of the M4] are not easy to locate – but there are suitable large-scale land holdings in this region which could lead the conversion to higher density employment lands,” said the RDA-S commissioned, Employment Lands Policy Position, report. RDA-s argues that the definition of “employment lands” should be expanded from manufacturing and industrial uses to include specialised centres and business/technology parks.
