Queensland (QLD)

Although Queensland is best known for its tropical climate and enviable lifestyle, this reputation is being overshadowed by the State’s strong and growing economy and favourable business environment. The result – Queensland is a prime business investment location.

Queensland has:

  • a dynamic economy that continually outperforms the national average
  • a skilled, motivated workforce, a result of the State’s world-class education systems
  • a diverse, knowledge intensive industry base
  • a pro-business Government that provides support, low business taxes and sophisticated infrastructure.

Queensland’s position on the north-eastern perimeter of Australia makes the State a preferred location for doing business with Asia, as well as other international destinations. Queensland benefits from Australia’s favourable business environment, with:

  • high resilience to economic cycles
  • low risk of political instability.

National and international companies are increasingly looking to Queensland as a location to relocate or expand their business. Companies that have already set up operations in Queensland include:

  • Ansaldo
  • Boeing
  • EADS
  • IBM
  • Rio Tinto Alcan
  • Vale
  • Virgin Blue
  • Volvo
  • Xtrata

The Queensland Government is encouraging these companies, providing support via facilitation, site selection and tax benefits. In fact, the Queensland Government has a reputation for being the most business friendly government in Australia.

With the State’s population and economic growth rates exceeding the national average, Queensland’s reputation as an investment location is getting stronger and stronger. There has never been a better time to head to Queensland.
