Jobs in Western Sydney

A vast geographical area, Western Sydney is Australia’s third largest economic region and home to 44% of Sydney’s population – 10% of the population of Australia. With a projected 1.8% population growth each year over the next 20 years, Deloitte has predicted the need for 200,000 new jobs by 2020.
 

Areas like Parramatta, Blacktown and Campbelltown have been earmarked for substantial investment, rejuvenation and economic growth by both private business and government bodies. These areas are considered strategic locations given their centrality to large numbers of Sydney’s population, strong transport links and high potential.
 

Liverpool and Penrith councils are also proposing urban renewal projects and are working with investors to attract business and funding to the area.
 

The future of jobs in Western Sydney

Currently, it’s small and medium sized businesses that are in the driver’s seat of Western Sydney’s economy. But with considerable decentralising and consolidation projects from the NSW government across the region and large business like NAB moving into Parramatta, it’s clear that businesses of all sizes will soon be thriving in the Western Sydney region – making use of the large and increasingly skilled workforce.
