Economic Development Strategy draft 2019 - 2029

The draft Economic Development Strategy focuses on the key challenge of creating more jobs in Wollongong.

The focus of the draft Strategy is to generate an innovative and more sustainable local economy

• Through generating 10,500 additional jobs
• Lifting median incomes by generating new industries that are higher paying
• Targeting industries to the area's existing talent pool

Key stakeholder groups were invited to inform the draft Strategy. Now that it is available we are consulting more broadly to find out if there is additional information that we need to consider.

The draft Strategy identifies a number of significant projects that if delivered, would have a positive impact on the local economy and employment.

The draft Strategy is available in the Document Library to the right of this page.

We invite you to have your say by making a submission during the exhibition period.

Please read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and visit the Document Library to review the draft Strategy before making your submission.

Comments can be submitted from Thursday 30 May until 10am Monday 1 July 2019.
