Hundreds of new industrial and logistics jobs are coming to Western Sydney, following approval of the first stage a major development in Kemps Creek.

Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade and Minister for Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the $341 million Aspect Industrial Estate would create hundreds of jobs on the doorstep of the new Western Sydney Airport, with links to major road networks.
\u00a0
\u201cThis is a major win for Western Sydney, which marks the start of a wave of new jobs in logistics, manufacturing and construction ahead of the new airport opening in 2026,\u201d Mr Ayres said.
\u00a0
\u201cToday\u2019s approval enables construction to begin on the first stage of the industrial estate, involving two buildings for warehousing and industrial uses, car parking and cafe.
\u00a0
\u201cAround 130 construction jobs will be created and a further 387 operational jobs once the buildings are up and running next year.\u201d
\u00a0
Minister for Planning and Minister for Homes Anthony Roberts said today\u2019s decision also included approval of the overall concept plan for the entire site.
\u00a0
\u201cA further nine buildings are being proposed but they will be required to be rigorously assessed separately, before each stage can progress,\u201d Mr Roberts said.
\u00a0
\u201cIf all stages of the project are approved, more than 1,700 jobs will be created in total, which are closer to home for Western Sydney residents.\u201d
\u00a0
Member for Mulgoa Tanya Davies welcomed the approval.

\u201cAs more projects like this one take off, we\u2019ll see more investment in warehousing and logistics, aerospace and defence, manufacturing, healthcare, agribusiness, education and research industries,\u201d Mrs Davies said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
