MORETON BAY’S $40 BILLION INVESTMENT CAMPAIGN

Moreton Bay Region’s promise of economic growth has been backed up by an awardwinning strategy inviting investors to Southeast Queensland’s fast growth areas.

The launch of the Invest Moreton Bay campaign in 2021 marked a significant milestone for the Moreton Bay region, as it strives to double its economy and become a leading hub of innovation in Australia. The campaign is a key component of the successful strategy developed by the Moreton Bay Economic Development Team and aims at attracting investors in industries that are of high priority to the region, which can benefit from the unparalleled growth and potential opportunities available in the area.

The Moreton Bay area is already a thriving economy in Australia, but it plans to significantly boost its economic growth over the next 20 years to maintain its position as the driving force of Queensland’s economy. Compared to other locations in South East Queensland, Moreton Bay has consistently achieved better economic outcomes and growth, averaging 3.0% annually from 2006 to 2020.

According to Peter Flannery, the Mayor of Moreton Bay Council, the region is currently facing a critical juncture, as it presents a remarkable prospect for investors to create a better future.

Moreton Bay is an incredibly promising economic opportunity that is ripe for large-scale region-building projects, providing countless opportunities for both current and future residents.
