Growth
The TweedGold region is one of the fastest population centres in the country, with Australians having long recognized the benefits it has to offer. The region’s permanent population base is expected to increase by a quarter of a million over the next 10 years to more than 750,000 – an increase of 51 per cent on current levels. Driven by this population growth, the TweedGold region is also experiencing significant economic development.
The size, diversity and strength of the Gold Coast economy are complemented perfectly by the Tweed’s rapidly growing population, work force and business base. This growth has fuelled significant investment in infrastructure supporting the region, including universities and other educational facilities, retail centres, hospitals and medical facilities, retirement villages, air and sea ports, transport and road network connections, which all complement TweedGold’s lifestyle amenities.
Lifestyle
The TweedGold region is the southern-most sub-tropical region of Australia. The region offers an array of lifestyle options from sophisticated city living, to the laidback beach way of life, to natural country ambience and values or almost any combination of these.
The TweedGold region offers the attractions of living in or near a sophisticated, young and vibrant metropolis and tourist centre with world class shopping, entertainment and restaurants, or a complementary clean and green, distinctively country scenic valley, dotted with culturally-rich villages and townships.
Flanked by mountains, rainforests and the Pacific Ocean, TweedGold balances the protection and enhancement of the natural wonders of the region, with the sensible and sustainable economic growth, development and investment.
Opportunity
The depth and strength of the TweedGold economy is illustrated by the creation of an estimated annual Gross Regional Product of more than $11 billion.
The services sector including property and business services, accommodation, health, education, retail and construction contribute most of the economic growth supported by the growing manufacturing sector. TweedGold’s strategic location and proximity to the ports of Brisbane and its major southern markets, position it perfectly to play an integral part in the future growth of the east coast of Australia.
