Economic Development Strategy

Supporting Specific Growth Opportunities in Agri-business, Tourism, Healthcare and More

The Wollondilly Economic Development Strategy sets out a pathway to build the local economy and create thousands of local jobs over the coming years, to benefit all of the community.

The strategy was adopted by Council in July 2020, and is being implemented.

The goal of the strategy is to support specific growth opportunities and create 15,000 jobs for local residents. Our proximity to Sydney and the new Airport, our amazing natural environment, unique towns and villages and existing agricultural production give us a competitive advantage for the future.

Since the previous Economic Development Strategy was adopted in 2015, major changes in the region have impacted the local economy including the new Western Sydney Airport and Aerotropolis, the Agribusiness Precinct, the proposed M9 Corridor, the Western Sydney City Deal, as well as impacts of COVID-19.

Wollondilly is well placed to take advantage of some of these changes including unique industry growth opportunities in areas such as agri-business, tourism, healthcare, industry and professional services. The next 20 years will be pivotal in the history of Wollondilly and Council has a crucial role to play to make sure that the future is bright for residents, businesses and visitors.
