The NSW Government will invest $1m to help refurbish a former power station in Broken Hill to turn it into a film studio and multi-purpose facility.

The studio will support production of Mad Max 4: Fury Road when it starts filming in August.

The announcement was made on May 12, but it was only reported by regional media outlets.

According to a statement to the press, “the new studio will strengthen Broken Hill’s blossoming film and creative arts industry and generate jobs for the region […] it is expected to inject up to $40 million into the NSW economy and create up to 123 jobs over five years.”
