Significant job development

The Albury-Wodonga region has experienced significant job development through the establishment of government agencies, defence-related employment, and the attraction of large corporations. Here is an overview:

Key Developments in Job Creation

1. Australian Taxation Office (ATO)

• The ATO established a major administrative centre in Albury, employing over 1,000 people locally[2][9].
• The facility, completed in 2012, spans 10,500 square meters and was built with a focus on sustainability, achieving 4.5 NABERS and 5 Green Star ratings[9].
• This centre plays a vital role in the region’s economy by providing stable government jobs.

2. Defence Sector Employment

• Albury-Wodonga hosts a significant number of defence-related jobs due to its proximity to major military bases such as Bandiana and Latchford Barracks.
• Current job listings show 37 to 40 defence-related roles, including positions for vehicle mechanics, medical officers, rehabilitation consultants, and logistics personnel[3][7].
• Defence activities in the region also include training schools and logistics centres established as part of federal government initiatives[5].

3. Attraction of Large Corporations

The region has successfully attracted several large corporations to establish regional headquarters or manufacturing facilities:

• Mars Petcare: Operating since 1966 in Wodonga as Australia’s largest pet care product manufacturer[8].
• Visy: A leading packaging and recycling company with operations in the area[8].
• Woolworths Distribution Centre: Employs over 400 people at its $90 million facility in Wodonga, handling $2 billion worth of stock annually[8].
• Other notable companies include Asahi Beverages, Geofabrics Australasia, and Ron Finemore Transport[8].

4. Economic Diversification

• The Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation played a key role in attracting businesses by offering incentives such as rental start-up factories, housing for employees, and childcare facilities during the early phases of development[5].
• The region has become a hub for manufacturing, logistics, and distribution due to its strategic location between Sydney and Melbourne.

Outcomes

• These initiatives have diversified the local economy, reduced reliance on agriculture, and provided long-term job stability.
• The presence of both government agencies and private enterprises has positioned Albury-Wodonga as a key regional employment centre.
