Economic Development Unit

The Fraser Coast Regional Council has a progressive approach to attracting and encouraging business, paving the way for new investment, innovation and industry.

The Council's Economic Development Unit  provides advice and ideas tailored to assist investors, developers and enterprises seeking to locate or expand in the Fraser Coast region.

The Economic Development team can facilitate major development proposals and has identified several areas of exceptional opportunity.

Construction and associated support industries, aquaculture, food processing, light engineering and manufacturing, aircraft-related industries, maritime services, education, IT and telecommunications, multimedia, aged and health care services, retail and, of course, tourism are key growth areas for the Fraser Coast.

Incentive arrangements from the State and Federal governments may be available for business start-ups and are supported by a ready labour market of skilled and unskilled workers.

With a commitment to attracting new business to the region, the Economic Development Unit is approachable, friendly and helpful and will provide the links for a smooth transition to the Fraser Coast.

The cost of living and doing business is lower in regional centres compared with Brisbane and other capital cities.  

The Queensland Department of Tourism, Regional Development and Industry  also has offices in Hervey Bay  and Maryborough.
