Evocities

In an Australian first, seven of NSW’s leading regional cities have united to form the Evocities campaign and encourage people to live, work and invest in an Evocity.

The seven Evocities are Albury, Armidale, Bathurst, Dubbo, Orange, Tamworth and Wagga Wagga.

Each of the seven cities has dedicated resources and funding to the campaign, and has in turn secured Australian Government funding, as well as support from the NSW State Government and corporate sponsors.

The main objective of the campaign is to encourage capital city residents to make the move to an Evocity and invest in the opportunities the cities have to offer.  Moving to an

Evocity is not a sea change, not a tree change but a CITY CHANGE.

The campaign will showcase the abundance of opportunities in these regional cities due to their lower cost of living, strong career and business opportunities and enhanced lifestyle.  Living in an Evocity means less time commuting, working and stressing, and more time for you and your family to enjoy NSW’s beautiful natural surrounds.

NEW STATE GOVERNMENT REGIONAL RELOCATION GRANT OFFERS $7,000 INCENTIVE TO MOVE TO AN EVOCITY

We are excited to able to tell you that the prospect of a move to Albury, Armidale, Bathurst, Dubbo, Orange, Tamworth or Wagga Wagga just got even more attractive, with the announcement of the State Government’s new Regional Relocation Grants program.

Under the program, Sydney families who sell their home and relocate to regional NSW – including all seven of the Evocities – will receive a $7,000 grant.
Once you have sold in Sydney, you need to buy a principal place of residence in regional NSW (up to the value of $600,000).

Unfortunately, at this stage, the Grants do not extend to people relocating from Sydney who are not currently homeowners; however we are hopeful the NSW Government will consider this in the future.
