The federal Budget had a clear focus on providing funding to help families in Western Sydney, including $3.6 billion additional funding for the region’s schools, NDIS funds for 32,458 residents, a $200 million package to upgrade local roads, tax cuts for 136,165 small and medium businesses and $25 million for preschool education, helping 20,091 children in Western Sydney.
The funding drive is part of an effort by both the federal and state government to encourage businesses to invest in Western Sydney, and turn the region into its own economic powerhouse.
Mr Turnbull has committed $5.3 billion to build Sydney’s second airport, creating 20,000 direct and indirect jobs in the region by the early 2030s.
