What Richmond Valley offers
Casino and the broader Richmond Valley are located at the intersection of the east-west link of the Bruxner Highway and the north-south link of Summerland Way. They are also connected to key coastal centres and markets by the North Coast railway line.
This area is home to established industries which are ripe for investment. The NSW Government is working closely with Richmond Valley Council, local businesses and communities to:
- identify gaps and opportunities
- improve local planning processes
- develop a plan of action.
This will:
- unlock investment and growth opportunities
- deliver stability
- create jobs for communities across Richmond Valley.
