The call for expressions of interest follows the government’s announcement that more than 600 Department of Planning & Environment personnel would be relocated to Western Sydney by 2019.
These employees would join more than 1500 previously announced jobs to relocate to Western Sydney from the Department of Finance, Services and Innovation, Department of Planning and Environment, the Office of Environment and Heritage and the Environment Protection Authority
“By relocating public servants to Western Sydney, the government is delivering more jobs closer to where people live and stimulating business and employment opportunities in this economic hub,” Brett Newman, CEO of Property NSW, said
Property NSW is seeking to lease office space in Western Sydney in either a single or multiple buildings, with an initial lease term of 12 years and two five-year options.
Since 2014, the government has announced the relocation of more than 4200 public service roles from the CBD to Western Sydney, including more than 1800 jobs from the Department of Education, which will be relocated to 105 Phillip Street in Parramatta, starting in 2018.
