Central Coast Studios

10/03/2026

We welcome the NSW Government’s announcement of an Expression of Interest process for a second major film studio in Greater Sydney.

Central Coast Studios will be engaging with the process and continuing our work with industry and community to support the growth of the NSW screen sector.

Community support matters. If you believe the Central Coast should be part of this opportunity, please sign the petition and let your local State MP know.

We’re supporting Sydney’s 2nd major film studio, with $100 million dedicated to backing the screen and film industry, right here in NSW.

Sydney’s already a high demand location for international film productions, with a number of high profile projects made here in the last few years.

We know the demand is there, so we’ll be strengthening the industry locally, delivering more jobs in Sydney and bringing global interest as we solidify our State as a globally renowned film production destination.

New South Wales has an opportunity to strengthen its screen industry for the long term.

Central Coast Studios could create 2,500 local jobs and inject $750 million into the Central Coast each year — while expanding production capacity, supporting creatives and lifting the film, television and games industry across the entire state.

This is more than a regional project.

It’s infrastructure that would benefit NSW as a whole — from local crew and small businesses to international productions choosing to film here.

We’re asking NSW residents and screen professionals to stand together and show their support.

If you believe in growing jobs, expanding opportunity and strengthening the future of the screen industry in our state, please add your name to the petition.

Let’s build this together.

• Attracting world-class productions to our region
• Building something future-focused for the next generation

We’re grateful for the growing community support.

Today was a big moment for the screen industry in NSW.
