A major new development is providing fuel for investment, jobs and trucks in the Central West with the Parkes Gateway Service Centre now open for business at the Parkes Special Activation Precinct northern gateway entrance.
The Stevens Group bp Highway Service Centre, which will be colocated with McDonalds and a diner, is an exciting new business to call the Parkes Special Activation Precinct home.
Combined, the Service Centre and McDonalds are expected to create 120 new jobs for the Central West region.
With 26 heavy vehicle parking spots, showers, lounge area and a laundry, the service centre will help improve safety for truck drivers along the Newell Highway, one of Australia's most important freight corridors.
This project has benefited from the streamlined planning process, which fast tracks planning and construction approvals, reduces red tape, and provides greater certainty for industry and investors.

The Parkes Precinct will continue to build on private and government investments, creating up to 3,000 jobs across a range of industries over the next 40 years
Special Activation Precincts are funded by the billion Snowy Hydro Legacy Fund, dedicated to major and transformative infrastructure projects that will benefit regional NSW.
