Applications are now open for the A$100 million Regional Job Creation Fund, an initiative by the NSW Government to support existing businesses in regional NSW to grow, and to encourage interstate and overseas businesses to invest in regional NSW.

Businesses may apply for up to $10 million in co-funding to activate or bring forward regional projects in existing or emerging engine industries. An engine industry is an industry driving growth in a regional economy. Typically, engine industries produce goods or services traded outside their specific region.

Examples of eligible projects could include the:

Support available

〉 replacement, upgrade or adaptation of plant and equipment at an existing regional NSW business

〉 establishment of an additional production line for an existing regional NSW business

〉 onshoring of activity currently done overseas to a regional NSW location

〉 development of new regional tourism experiences and visitor attractions

〉 relocation of a business operation from out of state to regional NSW.

Applications will close when program funding has been fully allocated or at 5pm on Friday 14 May 2021, whichever occurs first.

Here is the full program guideline and eligibility criteria.
