NSW Government pledges $250 million support to businesses new to NSW

The NSW Government have committed $250 million to the Jobs Plus Program, designed to support companies who want to relocate their head offices to NSW, or expand their jobs footprint in NSW.

Through backing private and non-government ventures seeking to invest in job-creating projects, proposals and partnerships, Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the new program would create or support up to 25,000 jobs to 30 June, 2022.

Under the Jobs Plus Program, the NSW Government will provide support to businesses if they create at least 30 new net jobs. Support includes:

• payroll tax relief, up to a four-year period, for every new job created where a business has created at least 30 new net jobs
• assistance with the NSW planning system, including fast-tracked planning approval pathways and advice, plus guidance on appropriate site selection to increase speed to market
• partnering to develop subsidised training programs in order to build specialised skills aimed at sustaining these new jobs into the future. This includes funding to develop and deliver bespoke skills programs which can be accessed by the wider NSW community
• providing enabling infrastructure such as building local roads, access to utilities and future-proofed digital infrastructure
• access to a one-stop-shop Jobs Plus Concierge Service in government to help businesses efficiently navigate and access government agencies and programs
• access to free or subsidised government spaces and accommodation.
