In recent months, flights have also started to the coal and coal seam gas boom town of Narrabri. Thirty years ago, the Illawarra saw an exodus as laid-off steel industry workers left to find work. It's not a scenario that the council wants repeated. Wollongong has looked closely at the work done by the University of Waterloo and the provincial government in southern Ontario, Canada, which 15 years ago found itself in a similar situation with the collapse of much of its traditional industrial base.

There, the university and government focused on information and communications technology, with some success. It won initial investment from Research In Motion, the developer of the Blackberry, and, more recently, research and development units from Google and Microsoft. The region benefits from its proximity to the US but perhaps more specifically from a decision to give researchers at the University of Waterloo greater control of their patent successes.

With Wollongong University claiming the largest number of IT graduates of any Australian university, the Canadian example offers a template for future development. In the Illawarra we have the building blocks - the university, the infrastructure, the research and the labour force - that wants to stay here. In part, the plan is to ensure jobs can be created locally, by fostering IT companies to set up in Wollongong, and mentoring entrepreneurs by developing local incubators.

In February, after several months of planning, Wollongong Council launched ''StartPad'', setting aside office space for start-up businesses in the city centre.

They have access to pro bono legal assistance, mentoring and coaching. The state government is covering the operating costs of the office while the university mentors the start-ups.

Already there are 11 companies with more than 17 staff working out of the centre. Others have turned their attention to the future of steel.

The head of the Business Council of Australia, Tony Shepherd, has a long business career in infrastructure projects, including the Sydney Harbour Tunnel. Recently he reminded a younger audience that Australia had worked hard after World War II to build its steel and heavy industry capacity, after being caught short. Shepherd may have put his finger on the one idea that may find common ground among politicians about whether Australia should continue to produce steel.

But Wayne Phillips is not holding his breath. He has no time for BlueScope executives and the bonuses awarded to them last year, which precipitated a shareholder revolt, but he is sympathetic towards local managers.

We need help. I don't want a politician's promise, I want real hardcore change,'' he said. That means, for example, mandating Australian steel content of more than 50 per cent in government infrastructure projects. We are not going to be a tourist mecca. What are you going to show them - a bunch of empty buildings?

We don't have the resources to change like Newcastle. An iron will needed for steel town to prosper anew. Please try again later. The Sydney Morning Herald. May 26, — 3.

It is unclear how the prison would affect access to the road, and to what extent it would continue west towards the housing estates under construction at Paynes Road.

However, if it was to look anything like the Grafton facility, high security sections to lock away prisoners could be separated by parkland, sports yards and rows of trees. The other two smaller lots included in the Corrective Services map of the potential prison site are part of Kembla Grange Golf Course, owned by Dapto Leagues Club, and a cemetery owned by the Catholic church.
