  • Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas Submission
    1. KEY FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Dubbo, Gilgandra and Narromine economies have performed strongly over recent years, with evidence that parts of the economy are operating at close to full capacity. With a large pipeline of significant infrastructure and construction projects planned for the region and low levels of unemployment, it is expected that some industry sectors will suffer from a shortage of skilled staff over the next few years, unless strategies are put in place to support economic growth. Dubbo Regional Council, Gilgandra Shire Council and Narromine Shire Council along with the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC), have commissioned the Western Research Institute (WRI) to deliver an industry engagement and research project to better understand the extent skills shortages are impacting on local construction, infrastructure, rail and heavy industry sectors in the local economies and what can be done to mitigate these expected skill shortages once the expected major projects have commenced. This report details the findings of WRI’s industry engagement and research activities. This report delivers a capital expenditure and employment project derived from a comprehensive assessment of planned capital projects in the Dubbo, Gilgandra and Narromine region over the next six years. 4 WESTERN RESEARCH INSTITUTE KEY FINDINGS • A review of data relating to employment, skills • Specific skill shortages were found across and the economies of the Dubbo, Gilgandra and the trades listed below. Strong future demand Narromine region illustrate a regional economy was also identified for specific skills, including with strong growth in construction and mining, plant operators, truck drivers, electricians, and low levels of unemployment.
