Film Central NSW

In response to inquiries, Film Central NSW coordinates the search for film and television locations throughout Central NSW. Inquiries are directed through the Project Officer, a person with many years experience in the film and television industries at a creative and administrative level.
The region extends over 64,000 square kilometres, supports a population of approximately 200,000 and embraces 13 Local Government Areas.
Film Central NSW is actively supported financially and with staff and resources by the Central West Organisation of Councils (CENTROC)which represents all 13 regional councils. The goal is to encourage greater use of the region's locations for film and television production as a vehicle for economic development.
