The Region supports a strongly established and rapidly expanding tourism industry, with its abundant natural attractions and recreational opportunities. Business conferencing and adventure tourism are two emerging tourism industry sectors. Agribusiness is also a major economic driver for the region with opportunities for both traditional broad acre grazing farming and an emerging intensive agriculture sector including viticulture, stone fruit, berries, olives, turf production, mushrooms, pig farming and aquaculture (particularly trout). Other industries include an established forestry and value adding timber processing sector, as well as light manufacturing and food processing sectors.

Low cost, fully serviced industrial land to cater for the needs of small to medium businesses is available near to the main townships. Local Wineries throughout the industry are producing some of Australia’s best wines. A number of these developments have embraced new technologies resulting in ecologically sustainable development. |
