Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh congratulates local industry leader Monsoon Irrigators Australia on its $150,000 NSW Government grant.
Mr Singh said the Coffs Coast company, which is also celebrating 30 years of operation, will be able to create eight new jobs thanks to the NSW Government’s Regional Job Creation Fund.
“Since 1992, Monsoon Irrigators has been constructing, supplying and servicing quality hose reel sprinkler gun irrigators, low pressure boom irrigators and electric and diesel farm irrigation pumps,” Mr Singh said.
“I’m extremely pleased the Regional Job Creation Fund is supporting Monsoon Irrigators with its new project of developing a high corrosion resistant Pivot Irrigator with the use of aluminium and stainless steel to withstand the harsh Aussie conditions. This project will see the installation of plant and equipment to produce this new product line.
“The hard-working team have always taken pride in offering dedicated solutions for farm irrigation, while at the same time supporting locally owned and operated companies as much as possible.”
Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the NSW Government’s $140 million Regional Job Creation Fund is on track to create over 6,500 new direct jobs in regional NSW by helping businesses expand production and provide incentives to move operations to the bush.
“The Regional Job Creation Fund continues to attract new investment from businesses and enable economic recovery across agriculture, manufacturing and tourism industries and ensure they continue to thrive now and into the future,” Mr Toole said.
“This funding exemplifies the NSW Government’s commitment to build robust regional economies, which is giving businesses, employees and their families confidence in the growth and prosperity of regional NSW.”
An additional $100 million for the Regional Job Creation Fund was included in the 2022/23 Budget.
