Industrial Lands Action Plan

The plan aims to categorise industrial land into state, regional or local significant land and will identify where infrastructure investment is required through the establishment of an Employment Land Development Program. This policy will replace the current Retain and Manage Industrial Lands Policy.

The Plan outlines four actions to be implemented over the next 12 to 24 months:

Action 1: Deliver a statewide policy for industrial lands to replace the existing Retain, Review and Manage Policies

Action 2: Investigate planning policy to support the growth of state and regionally significant industrial lands

Action 3: Adopt a statewide approach for an industrial lands supply pipeline

Action 4: Establish an Employment Land Development Program to monitor and manage the supply of industrial lands and to coordinate infrastructure investment

Importantly, the Plan sets an objective for the new policy to allow for alternative uses for underutilised industrial lands with an initial focus on alternative employment uses. Other alternative uses including residential, will be considered subject to meeting certain criteria.

Mecone commends the NSW Government for implementing an Action Plan that aims to secure and deliver a future supply of development ready industrial land.
