Council will decide on Tuesday, April 28 at the next ordinary meeting if it will accept and match the government's contribution.
The funds will be used by council to get Shoalhaven manufactures 'export ready', and a key component of the hub will be to create individual export strategies for businesses.

Council will use the money to establish the hub, employ and train an export hub manager and create a minimum of 10 individualised export strategies.
Gilmore MP Fiona Phillips said she was "thrilled" council would receive $150,000 to help local manufacturing businesses.
"There are so many manufacturers in the Shoalhaven working hard to expand their businesses and I know that a hub like this will be welcome by so many," she said.
"There has never been a more important time to support local jobs and grow our economy and I want to make sure the Australian Government is doing everything possible to help our local businesses succeed."
