Clean manufacturing precincts

Clean manufacturing precincts 

As part of Net Zero Industry and Innovation we are supporting the development of clean manufacturing precincts (CMPs) to fast track the decarbonising of high emitting industries and set the foundation to attract and create new, low carbon industries. 

These regional precincts will play a vital role in meeting the state’s target of net zero emissions by 2050. They bring multiple industries together, helping them collaborate to access clean infrastructure and technology and develop a path to decarbonisation. They will reduce costs and risks associated with new technology (like hydrogen), while supporting economic growth in a low carbon economy. 

Decarbonisation roadmaps – Expressions of interest now open 

We are now seeking expressions of interest (EOI) to develop CMP decarbonisation roadmaps. 

This is a competitive funding process to provide services to develop subsector, precinct or regional industrial decarbonisation roadmaps and implementation plans in the Hunter and Illawarra.  

It includes the development of at least two decarbonisation roadmaps and facilitation of collaborative strategic partnerships. These roadmaps must show a credible path to decarbonise industrial clusters in the Hunter and Illawarra.  

The aim is to enable hard-to-abate industrial sectors to plan and implement a strategic way to accelerate their scale and pace towards net zero. 

The application process is divided into two stages: 

• Stage 1 - Expression of interest (now open) 
• Stage 2 - Request for proposal

EOIs have been extended to close on Tuesday 7 December 2021 at 5.00pm (AEDT).

All EOI responses must be submitted through the Government eTendering site - external site. This site contains more information about the EOI process, including guidelines and frequently asked questions.

Two EOI briefing sessions were held in late October. If you would like a video of these sessions or a copy of the presentation, please email us at [email protected].

Stakeholder workshop outcomes

Targeted stakeholder workshops took place from June to August 2021 in the Hunter and Illawarra regions.

The workshops brought together a diverse range of stakeholders to share their challenges, opportunities and ideas for industrial decarbonisation in their regions. Information provided will contribute to the delivery of CMPs.

A summary of the information collected is below.
