Filming in the Capital Region – We’re open for business
Media Release: 12 April
NSW Minister for State and Regional Development, David Campbell, formally announced last month that the NSW Government has provided $84,600 to support the ongoing employment of a Regional Production Liaison Officer, Robert Pickles, within the ScreenACT office. During a visit to Queanbeyan, Mr Campbell said the funds would be used by the Capital Region Development Board to support the ongoing operations of ScreenACT in promoting the region as a filming destination.
“In the past year, there have been 20 film and television productions in the region, injecting more than $4.2 million into the local economy,” Mr Campbell said. “This sort of activity is good news for local jobs, for businesses servicing the industry and for increasing local skills. This success builds on last year’s successful NSW Government Regional Film Tour which promoted the region to Sydney based filmmakers.”
