The Narromine Shire Council have welcomed the partial funding of a new multi-million dollar local manufacturing precinct which will supposedly create more than 250 jobs for the district over the next few years.

The precinct will be the new base of operations for engineering company Simmons Global which will be relocating from Western Australia to the Narromine airport.

The project is one of 69 across regional NSW which have been supported by more than $180 million in state government funding designed to create more regional jobs.

According to Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional Transport and Regional Roads Paul Toole, the government had allocated a $4.8 million grant to help with the company's move.

"This funding will help deliver an advanced manufacturing precinct that produces everything from unmanned aerial drones to solar UV monitors that tell teachers when students should play in the shade, as well as help upskill local indigenous and youth workers through apprenticeships,” Mr Toole said.

“This will drive the creation of hundreds of new jobs right here in the Central West.”

General Manager from Narromine Council Jane Redden said the facility will be set up in a portion of land at the local aerodrome which was sold to Simmons Global earlier this year.

"In July this year, after various discussions and negotiations, council discussed selling a portion of land on the western end of the Narromine aerodrome," Ms Redden said.

"Council saw it as a great opportunity for the district, with stage one setting up this advanced manufacturing precinct and stage two looking to bring more than 250 full-time jobs over the next three to five years working here in Narromine.

"250 new jobs would be around a 10 per cent increase to our current workforce, which is fantastic."

Other unused parts of the aerodrome have also recently been redeveloped as residential sites which may help support an increase to the local population.

According to Mayor Craig Davies, Simmons Global first approached Narromine Council last year and, upon realising the benefits of being in a location which was close to multiple transport links and had ample natural resources, decided to move their operations to the shire.

"I think the fact we had everything (they) needed here and a co-operative and willing council - it was a no brainer for us - (they were) willing to give it a go," he said.

"I think there's also an opportunity for other niche organisations and industries to establish themselves here in Narromine knowing they can get the full support of the council."

Mr Davies said the collaborative effort between senior council staff, government agencies, Simmons Global and others would ultimately see a very pleasing result for the whole Narromine Shire.

Simmons Global CEO and Group Technical Director David Simmons was also excited for the opportunity for his company to get ahead, establish its factory and create jobs.

He said he was also thrilled that it would be transitioning its manufacturing back onshore to regional NSW.

“Narromine is the ideal location to establish a manufacturing facility for the wide array of advanced technology devices we will produce,” Mr Simmons said.

When asked about the job creation itself, both Ms Redden and Mr Davies said they hoped for as many local opportunities as possible and believed this was also a focus for Mr Simmons.

"I think (Mr Simmons) is absolutely keen to have local workers - there might be some skills where he may struggle to acquire locally but local employment is absolutely his focus and he wants to support his workforce," Ms Redden said.

"I hope we can employ as many locals as possible - we purposefully set out to diversify our rural base to support different professions in the case of things like floods and droughts," Mr Davies said.

"I also feel like with the sort of technology (Mr Simmons) will bring to the shire, there will be no reason for young people to leave and we can attract other young people from across the state because of the skills and employment opportunities they can develop even while in country NSW."

In addition to being thrilled about the new development - which he expected to begin early next year after the necessary DAs have been approved - Mr Davies also teased that this was only the first in a number of major initiatives that could see further exponential growth in the shire's economy.

"It is a wonderful time in our history - it really is the start of a process that will see Narromine grow very significantly, particularly over the next decade," he said.

"We've been working towards a series of announcements that we expect to give over the next two years and, if each of them comes through, we could see thousands of new jobs created out here."
