The Australian Government is building Australia\u2019s future by delivering infrastructure that creates opportunities in regional communities and improves everyday lives of locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are providing more than $20.7 million for the Future Industries Facility at the University of Newcastle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project will enable the university to provide a problem-solving centre for community and small businesses at a purpose built innovation facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will accommodate up to 16 academic-industry partnerships for rapid technology co-development from research to market across the energy, resources and manufacturing sectors, and the net zero economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Works are set to leverage the Trailblazer for Recycling and Clean Energy (TRACE) initiative by adopting circular economy and clean energy technologies.
This project showcases the Government\u2019s commitment to listening to and working with local communities and addressing regional needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is funded through the Albanese Government\u2019s regional Precincts and Partnership Program, which is investing $47.9 million to support the transformation of seven precincts across New South Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The regional Precincts and Partnerships Program is providing investment to transform regional, rural and remote places. For more information, visit: infrastructure.gov.au\/regional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
