THE TWEED HAS A BROAD AND PRODUCTIVE ECONOMY VALUED AT NEARLY $3 BILLION A YEAR.*
Innovation is a precious asset and one that is highly valued by Tweed Shire Council.
It recognises the manufacturing sector’s contribution to the economy and the challenges it faces in continually adapting to changing technologies and global competition.
Council has a number of incentives within its Business Investment Policy that can help new businesses become established and existing businesses to expand.
The NSW Government forecasts significant opportunities in the coming years for highly specialised and technologically advanced manufacturers.
The Tweed is in a prime position to capitalise on this, due to its affordable land availability and proximity to key markets and export routes.

Sustainability
The global business environment is changing rapidly, with a much greater focus on environmentally sustainable business practices.
It is becoming increasingly important for businesses to grow their green credentials to ensure they remain up to date with customer expectations and do their part for improving the environmental health of their community.
We are looking to attract businesses that not only share the Tweed's values when it comes to sustainable business practices but are also actively interested in working to maintain the environmental integrity of our World Heritage landscape.
