How important is new industry required for our region?
New industry improves a regions economic power by delivering immediate jobs and jobs in related areas that support that industry.
Jobs growth helps an economy in regards to money being spent in the local community supporting local businesses that can create more jobs as small businesses grow with demand.
Towns and regions that have good industry and job opportunities have a strong housing market where property valuations improve due to demand.
Property values are protected from declining and impacting our retirement plans providing a community with hope into the future.
Housing demand will go up as job opportunities increase and this can put pressure on available rental properties as the Rockhampton region is experiencing now with various projects.
