In reply to Mr COWDREY (Colton) ((23 June 2022).). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Planning):

I have been advised that, it is estimated that following the completion of the Australian Space Park project, direct employment of 296 FTEs and indirect employment of an additional 354 FTEs by financial year 2025-26.

The economic impact assessment also modelled a three-year construction phase resulting in an average annual construction job impact of 131 jobs between 2022 and 2025. This job impact is in addition to the 650 FTE projected above.
