The Riverina

Wagga Wagga is a beacon of opportunity, sustainability and community wellbeing in the Riverina

Wagga Wagga's strategic location along major transport routes has played a crucial role in its development as a commercial, cultural, and educational centre attracting people from diverse backgrounds. Today, Wagga Wagga stands proud as a regional powerhouse, offering a unique blend of urban amenities and rural charm. Its educational institutions, from primary schools to tertiary education at Charles Sturt University, set the standard for academic excellence.

MILITARY

Home to key Army and Air Force bases, Wagga Wagga is an important part of Australia's defence strategy.

Air force personnel and technical staff use Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Wagga as a major training facility. These military installations support the local economy by creating jobs, developing the infrastructure, and interacting with the community in addition to enhancing national security. The RAAF Base and Kapooka employ a large number of people, including civilian contractors, military personnel, and supporting industries. Through infrastructure investments, procurement contracts, and community engagements, it also promotes economic activity.

HEALTH

Wagga Wagga Base Hospital is part of the broader Health and Knowledge Precinct, Australia's largest health precinct.

The Hospital is also the main Health hub for the Riverina region. This all-encompassing health ecosystem makes Wagga Wagga a nationally recognised city for medical innovation and quality which attracts professionals, students and patients. The hospital complex, along with its related services and facilities, creates thousands of jobs in a variety of industries, including healthcare, research, administration, and support services, which greatly boosts the local economy. Calvary Riverina Hospital is well-known for its dedication to providing the community with premium medical care.

Agriculture

Agriculture is still a major industry in the area, accounting for a large share of NSW's wine, cattle and crops.

These take advantage of Wagga Wagga's natural beauty, cultural attractions, and prominent location as a regional hub. A clear example of Wagga's dedication to sustainability and innovation is the rapidly growing solar industry. As a result of the region's abundant sunshine, solar farms and other renewable energy projects have grown, producing clean, sustainable power. These programmes support a growing industry of green technology-related employment and investment opportunities.

Logistics

Wagga Wagga is developing into a major hub for distribution and logistics in south-east Australia.

By linking the networks of air, rail and road transportation, this cutting-edge hub seeks to increase efficiency, lower costs associated with transportation and streamline freight operations. Because of its advantageous location and state-of-the-art infrastructure, Riverina Intermodal Freight and Logistics (RiFL) is well-positioned to attract logistics firms and strengthen the local economy by fostering more trade and job opportunities.
