More jobs are on their way to Outer Western Sydney following the NSW Government’s approval of a multi-million dollar warehouse and distribution hub in Kemps Creek. 

The $242 million project will create up to 1,650 new jobs and house major global retailers, e-commerce providers, health and pharmaceutical industries, warehousing and logistics operators, light manufacturing and data centres.

Planning Minister Rob Stokes said the newly approved Kemps Creek Warehouse, Logistics and Industrial Facilities Hub will create new investment and job opportunities for the area. 

“This development will create 700 construction jobs and 950 operational jobs while injecting $242 million into the Western Sydney economy,” Mr Stokes said. 

The joint venture between Frasers Property Partners and Altis Bulky will be located at 657-796 Mamre Rd, Kemps Creek, with construction set to start this year. 

Jobs and Western Sydney Minister Stuart Ayres said the investment was a vote of confidence in the future Aerotropolis. 

“Creating jobs and boosting business is a priority for the NSW Government and this Hub means work for hundreds of people, during both construction and when the warehouse becomes operational,” Mr Ayres said. 

“This is just another example proving that COVID-19 won’t stop NSW from growing stronger, and the Hub also supports our plan to foster new sources of growth, jobs and investment in Western Sydney.”

The approval will allow for the construction of eight buildings, however the development of the rest of the hub will be subject to further development applications. 

Construction will take place in stages, with the first building set to be completed within 12 months.
