3 Introduction Regional Development Australia Northern Rivers (RDA Northern Rivers) and the Northern Rivers Business Chamber appreciates this opportunity to make this joint submission on the proposed $6b regional investment of the NSW Government, known as Rebuilding NSW. The Northern Rivers region faces a number of structural challenges that has impeded economic growth, including high levels of unemployment, low levels of workforce participation and high levels of social disadvantage. Attachment 1 documents the regions ranking against the SEIFA Index of social disadvantage, unemployment statistics and a brief population profile. We believe that the major infrastructure investment opportunities presented through the Rebuilding NSW proposed $6b investment could act as a catalyst that will re-invigorate the economic activity in our region. The Northern Rivers Business Chamber and RDA Northern Rivers jointly facilitated a major community consultation and identified that three main themes for infrastructure investment in our region were: 1. Space: Creating spaces for larger businesses to operate 2. Connectivity: linking our region to national and international markets & suppliers 3. Dispersion: spreading the economic activity, currently concentrated along the coast, deeper into the region. This submission includes the large number of ideas presented as part of the key stakeholder consultation, it is intended that over the coming months a small number of key projects will garner significant support from a large number of stakeholders and therefore present themselves as the most attractive projects for this region. Please consider this submission a first step in the Northern Rivers consultation process. There is a high level of enthusiasm for the opportunity Rebuilding NSW could bring to our region and we look forward to an ongoing dialogue. Yours sincerely, Dr. Ian Tiley Chair, RDA Northern Rivers John Murray Regional Manager, Northern Rivers Business Chamber 30 October 2014 P a g e 3

4 Background Information On Thursday 18 September a number of Northern Rivers stakeholders including Local Government General Managers, the Regional Business Chamber Chief Executive and the Chief Executive of Regional Development Australia attended a Rebuilding NSW briefing in Coffs Harbour at the invitation of Premier and Cabinet. Following on from that meeting the Northern Rivers Business Chamber and Regional Development Australia Northern Rivers facilitated a community consultation at Ballina. 55 people attended the key stakeholder consultation session, with around 15 stakeholders from local government and 40 business stakeholders. The meeting was provided a briefing on the scope of the opportunity and the proposed funding criteria and were asked to identify projects that would benefit the region as a whole, rather than specific towns or businesses. The smaller projects (value below $5m) were reviewed and where possible consolidated into a program of works that would increase job creation or investment opportunities across the region. The process started with consideration of the major projects that would be over $10million in value and could be at least 50% funded by private sector investment and/or local or commonwealth government with a 50% contribution by the State Government through the Rebuilding NSW funding. Consultation Major Themes The major themes that evolved through the consultation were connectivity, making space for larger and growing businesses and value dispersion. Making Space for Larger & Growing Businesses: Creating space for business to grow in the region, creating the infrastructure that would allow larger businesses to continue to operate in the region and stopping the migration of successful regional businesses north to Queensland and south to Coffs Harbour: Ballina Airport Industrial precinct Byron Bay larger business industrial precinct Connectivity: Connecting local businesses to national and international markets including: CBD priced, reliable commercial grade internet Major supply chain roads and transport hubs: Casino to QLD supply link Ports and waterways; including the Yamba Port development Value Dispersion: Dispersing the value from infrastructure and visitors across the region including: The Rail trail dispersing the value of the sea-side visitor economy deep into the region through the Tweed to Casino Rail trail o Expanding into established walking tracks o Developing inland food economy Film production precinct to accommodate short term hosting of film and television production crews. Funding Allocations The consultation group considered the proposed funding allocations of the $6B set aside for regional development including $1B for regional roads, $1B for regional water projects and at least $500M for sports and culture projects. The meeting assumed that the Education and Health Departments would be given priority for their project proposals. P a g e 4

8 ATTACHMENT 1 Regional Profile: Northern Rivers The Northern Rivers of NSW includes 7 Local Government Areas with an aging population. To place the significance of the Northern Rivers into the state perspective, the following population statistics are outlined 1 : Table 1 - Northern Rivers population as a percentage of regional population Area / LGA Population % of Regional Population Total Regional Population (NSW population 1,971, excluding Greater Sydney CCCSA) Ballina 39, % Byron 29, % Clarence Valley 49, % Kyogle 9, % Lismore 42, % Richmond Valley 22, % Tweed 85, % Total Northern Rivers 277, % NSW Business Chamber and RDA Northern Rivers supports to government s aim to use the funds in this programme to support the growth of the state, leverage state investment to expand infrastructure, contribute to productive capacity of the economy and accelerate job creation. Northern Rivers productive infrastructure investment opportunities can act as a catalyst for otherwise unattainable economic growth across a range of industry sectors. The Northern Rivers faces a number of structural challenges that currently limit real economic growth including high levels of social disadvantage and high levels of unemployment. SEIFA Index of Disadvantage SEIFA Index of Disadvantage measures the relative level of socio-economic disadvantage based on a range of Census characteristics with a lower score on the index indicating a higher level of disadvantage 2. Analysis of the Northern Rivers NSW SEIFA Index of Disadvantage indicates that within NSW, the Northern Rivers has three LGA s in the 10 th percentile. 1 Population figures taken from 2011 Census (ABS QuickStats) 2 Socio-economic Indexes for Areas, 2011 P a g e 8
