Orange and the Central West are set to share in a shift of leadership roles in the state government from Sydney to regional NSW. Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro said the government has committed to maintaining and growing the size of the public sector workforce in regional NSW. He said the government was committed to providing about 900 senior leadership roles to be based in regional NSW by 2025. Mr Barilaro said candidates could apply for these jobs from across regional NSW and work from those areas or a government hub. “Locating these senior positions in the bush will provide locals with the opportunity to directly shape their future and make a difference, without having to relocate themselves to Sydney to take up a senior position,” he said. “Larger pay packets in regional areas also means more money spent in regional communities and that helps local business owners pay their staff, it creates growth for local goods and services and brings more money and opportunities to the bush.” He said it would place key jobs in regional areas. “The Public Service in NSW should reflect NSW, and that means having leaders spread across the state, not just in Parramatta and the Sydney CBD,” he said. “This means decisions about classroom resources will be informed by people whose children are enrolled in local schools, it means decisions about hospital upgrades will be informed by people whose family and friends rely on those facilities. “It means key decisions made at the highest levels of government will be directly informed by leaders who live and work in the regions.” Orange mayor Reg Kidd said it was good news. He said the success of moving the Department of Agriculture and later the DPIE to Orange from Sydney was an example of how regionalisation of key jobs could work. “I think it’s super-super positive,” he said. Cr Kidd said it would stop the need for people to leave the regions to go to Sydney for top public service jobs. And he said the regional planning was also being seen in education with regional universities offering courses previously only available in capital cities.
