Invest with confidence

Special Activation Precincts offer a streamlined planning framework, reducing the risk and time for development consent.

Precinct-wide environmental and technical studies have been completed by government to inform the precinct master plan. These studies can also be used to support the development application, reducing time and cost.

Development ready land is available at competitive prices, with flexible configurations for either lease or sale.

A dedicated team is available for businesses in the precincts, from first enquiries through to construction, operation and growth.

Environmental and sustainability technical support make it easier for businesses to meet green goals, use resources efficiently and stay competitive.

Supported by the precinct’s business concierge service and streamlined planning pathways, the company secured approvals quickly for its $35 million expansion. Once fully operational, the terminal will strengthen Parkes’ role as a national freight hub, processing up to 450,000 containers annually.
