Doing business in our region has never been easier. Today's technologies and telecommunications remove the dependency on major centres and allow business owners to give new emphasis to lifestyle considerations without   compromising business success. Our key industries prosper by using the region's natural strengths to their advantage: Timber, Agriculture, Horticulture, Fishing, Manufacturing and Tourism. In each of the key industries, opportunities exist for new or relocating businesses. In particular, value-adding to any one if the diverse and special natural resources of the region offers particular opportunity.

Many of East Gippsland's tourists go on to become East Gippsland residents - once they have experienced the region's blend of wonderful lifestyle and excellent services. Many business opportunities are created to meet the needs of the region's large retirement population, with its high level of disposable income, considerable leisure time, and interest in new pursuits.
