The South East and Tablelands Region contains valuable mineral resources including coal,
precious and base metals and extractive materials.
The region contains deposits of several important base metals (lead, zinc, silver, copper) in the Woodlawn and Captains Flat areas. Extractive resources, including construction material such as sand, hard rock and sources of clay and shale for brick making, are extracted throughout the region, including around Googong, Bungendore, and Lake George. Gold is extracted from Majors Creek.
Electricity generation and the agriculture and transport sectors contribute the bulk of emissions in the region. While the region does not have its own renewable energy zone, the existing renewable energy network, coupled with increased renewable energy into the NSW electricity grid will benefit the region and reduce emissions. Renewable energy initiatives are therefore supported with a particular focus on reducing emissions from agriculture and
transport.
The region is already a well-established hub for renewable energy with its many wind and solar farms. Solar photovoltaic uptake is also relatively high in the region with installation on 33% of dwellings, higher than the state and national average. Increasing uptake together with battery storage will reduce emissions and improve

The Central Coast is recognised for its agricultural diversity, from citrus farms and poultry farms to flower farms and turf.
The Central Coast has many existing strengths and emerging capabilities in the food production and food services sector. Apart from its food and beverage manufacturing capability, it is home to a diverse sector covering smaller artisan food producers, high quality primary food producers together with food service companies in catering and hospitality.
It is represented in the fresh, dry goods, chilled and frozen supply chains which provides opportunities for exploration of food items or additives that can cut across all these supply chains.
There are two key points that differentiate the Central Coast from most other regions. The first is that it has the largest city population base in Australia, in Sydney, at its door step. Couple with this it has agricultural and industry lands to service the population base and beyond.
Secondly it has two major research facilities in its region with a third being built. The University of Newcastle has a campus at Ourimbah that has its food science school with research capability located there. On the same campus the NSW Department of Primary Industries has its Centre of Excellence for Market Access and Greenhouse Horticulture.
There are internationally branded food manufacturing businesses that produce on the Central Coast – including McCain Foods, Sara Lee, Mars, Sanitarium and George Weston Foods. The existence of these international brands put the Central Coast on the map for further potential investment and showcases that the region has the right ingredients for supporting big industry.

Australia’s economy is becoming more dependent on ideas and problem-solving, with the largest increase in jobs in Australia being those that require higher-level qualifications.
The transition towards a ‘knowledge economy’ has been driven by globalisation and a re-organisation of business, with enterprises and individuals becoming specialised through the outsourcing of non-core business functions assisted by the use of new and constantly evolving digital technologies.

Waste is a significant and increasing contributor to emissions. Moving to a circular economy will reduce emissions and improve sustainability of our cities and infrastructure. This will require major changes to waste management, recycling, and reuse across the six cities.
Increasing the separation of household food and organic waste can generate renewable energy and reduce emissions. This may require innovative solutions in higher-density areas where fewer households have access to their own garden, including through the development of community-led ‘maker spaces’ or ‘circular economy hubs’.
