7147 - Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney - BRADFIELD CITY CENTRE

Mookhey, Daniel to the Minister for Finance and Small Business representing the Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney

(1) What is the status of the business case for the Advanced Manufacturing and Research Facility to be located in Bradfield City Centre?

(2) How much was spent on preparing the business case in 2020-21?

(3) How much was spent on preparing the business case in 2019-20?
Answer -

The preparation of a Business Case for the Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) was announced in November 2020.

Funds were made available in the 2020-21 Budget to progress planning activities for the AMRF. The NSW Government is trialling the concept of the AMRF by investing in a multi- purpose First Building that will provide initial advanced manufacturing facilities and equipment in the Bradfield City Centre. The First Building was subject to the development of a Business Case, with funding for the facility announced as part of the 2021-22 Budget. The First Building will be critical to the early activation of the AMRF and of the Bradfield City Centre.

Development of the Business Case for the First Building cost approximately $297,000 (ex. GST).

Noting the AMRF is a unique proposition for NSW and the Bradfield City Centre, planning activities for the full-scale facility are still underway. It is currently expected that these activities, including the finalisation of a Business Case for the full-scale AMRF and related investigations, will be completed in the first half of 2022.
