Moree home to a Special Activation Precinct

What is a Special Activation Precinct?
A Special Activation Precinct is a dedicated area in a regional location identified by the NSW Government to become a thriving business hub.
A Special Activation Precinct is a State-led initiative that will create jobs, attract businesses and investors and drive economic growth through simplified planning approval processes. These are unique to regional NSW as they bring together planning and investment support services. Businesses will be able to establish and grow with certainty and confidence knowing the right planning framework is in place to deliver the jobs of the future sooner.
