We have a diverse, skilled and qualified local workforce that’s growing all the time. Business innovation is growing and encouraged, and we’re home to a wide range of business services. A diverse range of greenfield and brownfield sites are available for development. And our suburbs offer all kinds of housing and lifestyle opportunities, with plenty of premium leisure and recreational choices.
