Moreton Bay Regional Council

THERE’S MORE TO MORETON BAY

Moreton Bay is the undeniable engine room of South East Queensland, with a population and employment boom empowering its economy to reach $40 billion by 2041.

Its strategic location is within a 30-minute drive of Brisbane’s port and airport, and a talent pool of over 1 million people. Already home to a labour force of 241,000 people (2021), more skilled workers are continually being drawn to the enormous opportunities offered by the region.

Moreton Bay is the right place for businesses to thrive, with a plethora of prime business hubs and industrial precincts ready for investment, now and into the future. The region is an economic goldmine ready for a rush of multi-billion dollar region-building projects, supporting incredible job opportunities for local and future residents.

A BRIGHTER FUTURE

Powered by unrivalled growth and unlimited potential.

Investors seeking to grow their business have an unrivalled opportunity to take advantage of one of the fastest growing business ecosystems in Australia, and a Council dedicated to supporting business and industry to flourish.

Moreton Bay’s economic reinvention continues to power forward with a record budget of $743 million, including $245 million in capital expenditure in 2021-2022 and an unequalled spend on economic development programs and initiatives.

We’re proudly home to 32,500 businesses and are committed to supporting their growth, resilience and innovation. Council’s commitment to supporting local businesses as #TeamMoretonBay is demonstrated in the adoption of our Regional Economic Development Strategy (REDS), the Small Business Friendly Council initiative and establishment of two private sector boards to give direction to The Mill at Moreton Bay and the REDS.

The Moreton Bay Region empowers four priority industries with strong business pedigree, and even stronger growth. These four priority industries consist of:

Our unique combination of affordable living, employment opportunities, tertiary institutions, natural environment, and access and investment in essential infrastructure makes our region the perfect place to invest, live, work and play. Come see why there is MORE to the Moreton Bay Region.
