The first stage of heavy industrial lots at the Tamworth Global Gateway Park are up for grabs, with major businesses looking to secure their position at the new development.

Sales of the Stage One subdivision are progressing well, which includes industrial land along Goddard Lane between the Oxley Highway and Wallamore Road. Additional stages will become available as development of the site continues to advance.

Col Murray, Tamworth Regional Mayor said that the current levels of interest in Stage One is extremely promising, with many industrial and commercial operators taking notice of the new enterprise park and logistics hub.

“Our region is getting attention from major businesses looking to establish here, which is wonderful”, he said.

Construction of the infrastructure needed for businesses to begin establishing a presence at the Tamworth Global Gateway Park is well underway, with three major infrastructure projects now half way to their completion. Representing a $27 million investment from all three tiers of government, the Country Road Roundabout, Goddard Lane Upgrade and Trunk Stormwater Drainage infrastructure projects have all passed the 50% completion mark despite the high levels of rainfall received this year. These projects are on track to be completed later this year.

The progression of these projects will enable Wallamore Road to reopen to traffic between Evans Street and Goddard Lane in August.

Residents should also be aware that Evans Street, Westdale will be temporarily closed on 17 and 18 July to allow Transport for NSW and John Holland Rail to upgrade the Evans Street level rail crossing, including the installation of boom gates, flashing lights and warning bells.

The first phase of development works relating to Goddard Lane, Country Road Roundabout and the Trunk Stormwater Drainage Infrastructure are jointly funded by the three levels of government. This consists of $4,532,000 from the Australian Government under its Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program, $14,360,000 from the NSW Government under its Restart NSW Growing Local Economies Fund, and $8,928,473 from Council.
