Industrial land now selling

With Stage 1 of the Employment Zone now completely sold out, Stage 2 offers another opportunity to secure industrial space in Oran Park’s growing community. Whether you’re a small or large business owner, this is your opportunity to take your enterprise to a new level in one of the fastest growing areas in Sydney’s South West.

An active and vibrant employment area in the making, the Employment Zone is growing rapidly to meet the expanding needs of the surrounding business community.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for Campbelltown to show its offerings in the arts and cultural spheres.”

Minister for the Arts John Graham is equally keen to get Western Sydney residents out and about on summer nights in 2023-24.

“We are declaring war on the lure of the couch with these nighttime cultural events. It is part of Sydney bouncing back after a tough decade after dark. The program ensures that culture up late funding extends to Western Sydney,” he said.

“The Western Sydney Culture Up Late program showcases some of the most exciting cultural offerings Sydney has to offer. These precincts are already key cultural destinations, and this coming spring to summer they’ll become undoubtedly Sydney’s must-visit locations.

“As we are working on developing the first ever cultural strategy that includes the creative industries the initiatives in the Culture Up Late program are exactly the types of dynamic programming I want to see more of – programs that will enliven their regions and provide greater employment opportunities for performers, creatives and arts workers.”
