Gwydir Country is a safe and happy environment in which to raise children or enjoy life in retirement as it offers a relaxed country lifestyle while still providing many of the essential services and facilities for families and businesses, with financial and lifestyle benefits that far outweigh the fast pace of the city.

Gwydir Shire Council welcomes new businesses, enterprise and families and strives to enable a smooth transition for relocation. With low land prices and reasonable rates the move from metropolitan areas can be a profitable one.

Passing through the Shire provides the shortest route between Sydney and Brisbane, with Brisbane only five hours north and Sydney seven hours south of the Shire boundaries. This makes the Shire the perfect location for businesses servicing the major centres of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

As technology improves more options are becoming available in the Shire; ADSL broadband internet is accessible in the major towns of Bingara and Warialda and satellite connection is available to areas outside these towns. The high standard of infrastructure has seen the area experience an increase in home-based businesses. The CDMA mobile phone network is also well established and covers the majority of the Shire area.

 

Gwydir Shire Council is committed to service, so if your business is finding it difficult to compete in the city where overheads are consuming your profits, contact us on (02) 6729 3000
