NEW: BSV Heavy Industry Network

Anew aspect to Business Snowy Valley membership - for our Heavy Industry members.

Business Snowy Valleys (BSV) is proud to announce the launch of the BSV Industry Network, a new initiative aimed at supporting trade, transport, and heavy industry businesses in our region. This network was established in direct response to feedback from local industry leaders, who expressed the need for BSV to better represent and support these critical sectors. We listened and took action by creating the Industry Network, in partnership with key organizations such as Snowy 2.0, ICN Gateway, Regional NSW, and Business NSW.

The BSV Industry Network officially launches on 4 September, coinciding with the Snowy 2.0 supplier workshop being held in Tumut. This workshop, delivered in partnership with Business Snowy Valleys, is a significant milestone, marking the beginning of the organisation’s focused efforts to connect local businesses with major projects and provide valuable industry insights.

Looking ahead, the next network event will take place in November in Tumut. This event will feature presentations from the Riverina Redevelopment Joint Venture (RRJV) and the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR), offering local trade and transport businesses the chance to learn about the RRJV procurement strategy and gain insights into chain of responsibility requirements from the NHVR.

The BSV Industry Network is committed to delivering ongoing value to local businesses by providing access to crucial information from major projects and relevant trade organizations. Members will also benefit from opportunities such as funded training qualifications and free upskilling.
