Increased development opportunities for local business and investors
Rockhampton Regional Council through Advance Rockhampton has upped the ante when it comes to creating investment opportunities for new investors and for local businesses looking to expand. The new development incentive complements the other development incentives currently offered in targeted industries.
Last month, Council expanded the current Development Incentives Policy to include multiple residential unit developments in specific areas near the CBD (diagram attached). The policy also extends the current incentives policy for investment in tourism, health, resources, education, aged care and retirement investment sectors.
Rockhampton Region Acting Mayor Neil Fisher said these development incentives have played an important part in stimulating the Rockhampton Region’s economy over the past seven years.
