Advance Rockhampton has launched a prospectus setting out the significant opportunities available in the Rockhampton region.

Unveiled at Beef2024, the document highlights growth opportunities across new and emerging sectors, including food and beverage manufacturing, clean economy projects, critical minerals and defence manufacturing and supply.

This builds on the $12 billion project pipeline underway in the region.

Rockhampton Regional Council Mayor Tony Williams (pictured above right with Wade Clark from Advance Rockhampton) said the message from this investment prospectus was clear – there’s no better place to invest than the Rockhampton region.

“This investment prospectus showcases the Rockhampton region to a global stage,” Cr Williams said.

“Whether it’s our world class education institutions, our transport connections or investment-shaping infrastructure – we have the right mix of tools in place to facilitate real investment and growth in the coming decade.

“We know that we are in a race – a race for new jobs, new investment and new opportunities and we need to be on the front foot each and every day.

“I encourage everyone to have a look at this document and to reach out to Advance Rockhampton for a conversation about the great benefits and opportunities in our region.”

Advance Rockhampton economic development manager Wade Clark said support was on-hand for all businesses, particularly those looking to grow or diversify.

“I encourage local businesses to share the investment prospectus with their colleagues. It’s a great demonstration of the wealth of opportunity and knowledge within our community,” Mr Clark said.

“The Advance Rockhampton team is always on hand to support investors in establishing
business connections and providing advice, modelling and data.”

Advance Rockhampton is the economic development arm of Rockhampton Regional Council.

In its 2023 Budget, the council funded more than $2 million in industry and economic development activities and initiatives, including the development of the Rockhampton Region Investment Prospectus.
