Industrial Lands Review The Wollongong Industrial Lands Review commissioned by Wollongong City Council is a recent report that outlines the importance of industrial lands to the Wollongong Local Government Area (LGA) and the need to preserve them as well as promote greater efficiency. Wollongong’s Industrial Lands were last reviewed by Council in 2006 through a study that informed the preparation of the draft Wollongong LEP 2009. This latest Review formally supersedes that study and aims to inform future land use planning directions for industrial lands across Wollongong including within the forthcoming ‘Six Cities Region Plan’. It seeks to make a range of recommendations for consideration. The recommendation range from minor housekeeping amendments to more significant investigations which would require specialist studies if they were to progress. The Review recommends the adoption of seven industrial lands planning principles as well as changes in relation to zoning, land use tables, development standards and DCP controls.
Clean Energy Wollongong is emerging as a global clean energy hub. Across the Illawarra Shoalhaven region there are major projects in green hydrogen production, dual fuel power generation, offshore renewable energy, gas pipeline and terminal infrastructure either planned or already operating. These transformative projects and assets are the cornerstone investments in NSW and Australia’s decarbonised energy future. Port Kembla is poised to become a hydrogen superpower with an ambitious vision to create Australia’s first 5GW+ scale green hydrogen hub. Advanced Manufacturing Manufacturing is part of Wollongong’s DNA, with more than 110 years of innovation and excellence in this sector. Home to a diverse range of operations in advanced manufacturing, Wollongong offers unique and significant opportunities particularly in the machinery, equipment design and manufacturing verticals. Wollongong has a growing number of organisations involved with the defence- related procurement, including a range of manufacturing services and research activities. Combined with the capability of the Shoalhaven’s defence assets, this highlights the substantial opportunities to partner with businesses in our region.
