Current infrastructure and attractions for businesses
Moreton Bay has one of the most enviable lifestyle offerings in Queensland with capital city convenience without the price tag. The Region’s affordability has driven considerable population growth over the last decade, making it one of the fastest growing regions in Australia.
Spanning rural townships, thriving business precincts, coastal villages, large industrial estates, and booming residential hubs, the region is a truly diverse and thriving hub of economic activity.
Located between Brisbane City and the Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay occupies a strategic location, with easy road and rail access to air and sea ports connecting to interstate and international destinations.
Moreton Bay is serviced by the Bruce Highway and Caboolture and Redcliffe rail lines, which criss-cross the region. These transport connections support the region’s key infrastructure such as major retail precinct, significant hospitals and tertiary education facilities such as University of the Sunshine Coast campus at Caboolture and now the Moreton Bay campus at Petrie.
These opportunities complement the major projects that Moreton Bay Regional Council is working to achieve, proving there is room to grow in the region yet! Major Projects include The Mill at Moreton Bay - a huge opportunity for tertiary education in the region and innovative businesses to join this new business hub; the Wamuran Irrigation Scheme bringing 2.6 gigalitres of Class A water to 2,500 hectares of current and future agricultural lands; and planning work for an intermodal freight terminal to be developed in the north of the region.
Combined with superior connectivity to the internet and the world from broad NBN coverage across the region and the new international submarine broadband cable landing in the Sunshine Coast creating faster speeds to Asia than ever before, there are so many reasons to call Moreton Bay Region your new business destination.
