You want to be in a thriving regional centre
Lismore is the capital of the thriving Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. And unlike many regional centres around Australia who are fighting for survival, Lismore bucks the trend – our population and economic position has experienced consistent, strong growth over the last decade and is a bustling city with more than 70,000 car movements each week.
You want to be close to major services
Lismore is home to the Northern River’s major services, making it a draw card for residents of surrounding areas. Major industry, commerce, public and private hospitals, schools, Southern Cross University, performing arts centres, retail, and state-of-the-art sporting facilities makes Lismore the heart and soul of the region.
You want easy access to the entire north coast region, and beyond…
The NSW Far North Coast and its thriving beachside populations are a mere 30 minute drive away. You can find yourself in the bustling Gold Coast region (and its international airport) within an hour, and the nearest capital city, Brisbane, is little more than a two hour drive.
Jump on a plane at Lismore Regional Airport, only five minutes from the city centre, and be in Sydney in just over an hour. There are several flights every day of the week. The airport focuses on the business traveler, and timetables are developed with business in mind.
Lismore is well serviced by main transport routes for local, national and international suppliers and distributors. The Bruxner Highway runs directly through town, and joins the Pacific Highway near the coast.
You want better value for your business dollar
Land and development opportunities on the coast are both rare and expensive. Lismore’s proximity to the coast gives you all the economic and lifestyle benefits you want, but makes investment and business opportunities of considerably better value. And its geographical location means you are located smack-bang in the heart of the Northern Rivers, giving you easy access to the entire region.
You want access to a qualified, flexible labour force
Lismore’s population of 45,000 contains an eclectic mix of workers and professionals. The presence of Southern Cross University also means that Lismore has a vibrant student population. The City attracts a large workforce from the surrounding areas of Ballina, Byron Bay, Bangalow, Casino, Kyogle, and Lennox Head.
