$100 Million-Backed Global Film Studio Planned for Greater Sydney
The New South Wales government has launched an Expressions of Interest (EOI) to locate a second global film studio in Greater Sydney, committing up to $100 million under its three‑year Screen & Digital Games Strategy. The initiative will complement the existing Disney Studios Australia in Moore Park and seeks proposals on both private and government‑owned land, with three Western Sydney sites pre‑identified. Applicants must plan at least six sound stages, with the EOI closing in May. The project aims to boost capacity, attract blockbuster productions, and generate local jobs.
