QBC | Business DevelopmentFocusing on Economic and Business Growth
From retail business to manufacturing, from high-tech companies to real estate opportunities, Queanbeyan is at the forefront of economic opportunity with an unparalleled location to Canberra and a unique combination of quality of life and vibrant business climate.
While originally a suburban community to Canberra, Queanbeyan has emerged over the last twenty years as an urbanised hub of regional importance. However, over the past two decades, Queanbeyan is in a much different place in its economic development life cycle than it was twenty years ago. Queanbeyan has been attracting population and businesses from outside the area and is becoming a place where success is dependent on retaining and growing existing businesses and economic clusters. Growing our own businesses, companies, jobs, and future workforce is how Queanbeyan will succeed.
