Wyndham City Council Business and Economy
Wyndhams always happy to have people operate with business. Here are just some reasons why the councils the right one for the job.
Location
According to the voice of experience, this is the only rule in real estate that counts.
We proudly admit to a tinge of bias, but you won’t find a better strategic location in Australia than Wyndham.
We are 20 minutes from the Melbourne CBD and Melbourne’s road, rail, sea and air ports. Access is direct and easy.
In fact, we occupy the pivotal strategic location in the State of Victoria – a location that is often referred to as Australia’s economic powerhouse.
Our commercial and industrial zones are large, fully serviced and price competitive, and our current industries range from steel mills to software; from concrete recyclers to children’s furniture.
Whether you want to buy a clear (greenfield) site with room to grow or whether you are looking to lease an existing building, we will do our very best to meet your needs.
Caring for the environment is a key issue at Wyndham, and we have a number of planning overlays in place to protect and preserve sensitive areas.
In terms of keeping the environment clean, we make a very substantial contribution. Wyndham proudly hosts several companies that specialise in recycling materials ranging from oil to concrete.
Our Western Treatment Plant’s processes for treating waste water are world class.
Our special interest is in the technology that relates to food, food packaging and biotechnology.
Our Technology Precinct is the largest and most advanced of six precincts in Australia. There are several high profile research and learning institutes on site, and with a total land area of 800 hectares (2,000 acres) the precinct has room for more.
If your business interest relates to food processing and packaging, you won’t find a better home base than Wyndham.
Access to a workforce is an essential consideration for every employer.
Wyndham’s population is young, well educated and enthusiastic. More than 35% of our people are under 25, almost 70% are under 50 and our population grows by 2.5% every year
Services and infrastructure are at the top of our ‘priorities’ list.
We understand the critical importance of decent roads, cost-competitive power, clean water, etc.
We maintain excellent working relationships with the providers of these services, to ensure that roads are maintained, power; gas and water are available in sufficient quantity and quality, that waste water can be treated, etc.
When you are ready to talk about services, we will introduce you to the providers.
On a continent as dry as Australia, water is a precious commodity.
The Western Treatment Plant discharges 500,000,000 litres of reusable water into Port Phillip every day, so we are constantly on the lookout for developers who are prepared to make better use of this water.
Agribusiness has been a part of Wyndham’s economic profile for more than 100 years.
Our 3,000 hectares of market gardens at Werribee South are recognised as the broad leaf vegetable capital of Australia.
However, it is the Industry’s future that is so exciting! Hydroponics, cryovac packaging, aquaculture, fresh vegetable exports to Asia …
If you have any agribusiness plans, we want to talk to you.
We use networks at all levels to stay one step ahead of our competitors.
At the local level, we utilize the special interest committees and associations formed by our industrialists, our traders and the people involved in tourism to keep in touch.
If you want to talk to these special interest groups as part of your decision making process, we will gladly put you in touch.
Assistance with planning approvals is our specialty.
Getting permits and approvals can be frustrating, so we will arrange for you to meet with a town planner early in the process.
Is the site ok? Are there conditions or restrictions? Do you need to advertise? Is your documentation complete? What is the processing time?
