People living and working in Tallawong, Schofields, Rouse Hill and surrounding suburbs are set to benefit from easier access to NSW Government services, with Tallawong Service NSW Centre officially opening today.
Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Jihad Dib today joined Member for Riverstone Warren Kirby to cut the ribbon on the new Service NSW Centre, which will help meet demand in one of Sydney's fastest growing suburbs.
The new Centre is expected to accommodate nearly 118,000 customers in its first year, with a team of about 30 staff able to assist with government transactions and services such as vehicle registration transfers, Owner-Builder Permit applications and Service NSW Business Bureau support.
For those aiming to get their L plates, around 280 computer-based knowledge tests will be available each week.
Due to retail precinct construction and traffic management delays, driver testing will be available at a later date.
Customers can continue to complete their driving tests at nearby service centres at Blacktown, Castle Hill and St Marys.
Tallawong is the 118th Service NSW Centre to open across the State, following the opening of Glenmore Park Service NSW Centre in March and the Macquarie Fields Driver Testing Centre last December.
The new Service NSW Centre is open Monday to Friday 8:30am - 5pm and Saturday 8:30am-12:30pm. It is located on the ground floor of Tallawong Village shopping complex, Shop 29, 2 Conferta Avenue. Parking is available within the new retail precinct, or the centre is walking distance from Tallawong metro station.

Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Jihad Dib said:
"As the population in Tallawong and surrounding suburbs grows, the opening of the state's newest Service NSW Centre will help make government services and transactions even more accessible."
"The team at Tallawong Service NSW Centre will be on hand to provide high quality customer advice and support for the up to 1,300 government services and transactions available, making it a one-stop-shop for everything from Working with Children Checks to finding cost of living support."
Member for Riverstone Warren Kirby said:
"For people living in and around Tallawong, the nearest Service NSW Centres have been Blacktown and Castle Hill so the new Tallawong Service Centre will cut out the 45-minute round trip currently required for locals."
"Just steps away from Tallawong metro station, the new centre will make about 1300 government services and transactions even more accessible for people living and working in Sydney's north-west."
