The State’s Great South Coast is an area of stark physical contrasts, from the beauty of the Great Ocean Rd to rainforests; lush farming districts and the craggy rocks and mountains of the Southern Grampians.
The area’s rich soil provides the basis for thriving industries in horticulture, viticulture, dairy production, cattle grazing and wool production. The region is also home to a wide range of industries including manufacturing, service, forestry and fishing. The area attracts large numbers of tourists throughout the year, making tourism and retail growing industries.
People living in the South West enjoy excellent education and health services, sporting and recreational facilities, and retail shopping, as well as an established arts scene and busy calendar of festivals and events.
Local communities are welcoming and councils actively promote local business – some through set-up incentive schemes. Residents can choose a wide range of lifestyles – by the sea, in the hinterlands, in small towns or larger cities. The region is home to Colac, Camperdown, Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Portland and Hamilton.
