The NSW Government\u2019s fast-tracked planning program is leading the State\u2019s post-pandemic recovery by creating 50,000 jobs and injecting $25 billion into the NSW economy over the last six months alone.
\nThe Planning System Acceleration Program has already determined 90 major projects and planning proposals since April and in the next four weeks another 11 will be determined as part of the sixth tranche.
\nIf approved, these could result in another $527 million worth of investment and the potential to create more than 1,400 jobs.
\nMinister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said the planning system had been a key economic lever in the NSW Government\u2019s immediate response to the pandemic, driving the state and the rest of the country to a strong economic recovery by accelerating a pipeline of projects.
\n\u201cCOVID-19 has had a devastating impact on our lives and the economy and getting shovel-ready projects out the door to help NSW rebound from this crisis has been a critical priority,\u201d Mr Stokes said.
\n\u201cOur short-term drive to create a steady supply of jobs and investment has been a great success, with work already starting on construction sites across the State.
\n\u201cOur focus now turns to a medium-term response, which will speed up and add greater certainty for more complex projects with longer timeframes of between six months and two years.
\n\u201cWith our nation in a recession, boosting the economy and creating jobs is more important than ever.\u201d
\nThe projects selected for accelerated assessment in tranche six include:

\u201cIf approved, these 11 projects will mean that we\u2019ve fast-tracked determinations of more than 100 projects since the accelerated program began in April,\u201d Mr Stokes said.
