Hamilton Business Park ready for industry

Hamilton Business Park land parcels are now ready for purchase with prospective investors encouraged to secure their investment in a thriving Greater Hamilton region.

Southern Grampians Shire Council Mayor Bruach Colliton said the purpose built estate was developed after Council identified a lack of investment ready land opportunities in the Shire.

“Council resolved to develop a Council owned land parcel located along the Hamilton-Port Fairy Road into an asset for the future that would not only secure new investment and drive population growth, but would positively contribute to growing the economy for years to come,” said Cr Colliton.

“This project was identified as being crucial for the Greater Hamilton region to increase capacity to offer new investors opportunity to grow infrastructure, and also importantly for local businesses to expand without having to leave the area.

“Hamilton Business Park will help meet that need by offering investment ready, fully serviced industrial land parcels with 23 allotments between 1,800m2 and 6,800m2 in size available across 7.5ha.

“Location is also a key feature of the precinct, situated on the southern gateway to the city of Hamilton with close proximity to the Hamilton Saleyards, access to heavy vehicle routes and industrial trunk infrastructure, makes the location ideal for investment. The precinct also forms a critical link for north-south bound traffic to/from the Hamilton Central Activity District and east-west bound traffic to/from Hamilton’s southern industrial, rural activity and residential areas.

“There really are endless possibilities for all industries to call Greater Hamilton home,” concluded Cr Colliton.

Southern Grampians Shire Manager Economic Development and Tourism, Hugh Koch said it was exciting to finally see the project realised with the land now ready for businesses to move and grow.

“The region is renowned for its beautiful landscapes, vibrant communities and strategic location,” said Mr Koch. “But uniquely what we also offer as a region is ideally located for business growth with affordability and access to key amenities in the Shire a real selling point.

“These newly available land parcels have untapped and unlimited potential to provide opportunity for new businesses to flourish with each block benefitting from power, gas, and high speed broadband.

“Over the last two years we have witnessed strong growth regionally including here in the Greater Hamilton region, particularly in the agricultural and real estate sectors with commercially appropriate opportunities highly sought after.

“We are excited to be able to facilitate increased investment whether it be in manufacturing, agri-business, logistics, forestry or the digital economy,” concluded Mr Koch.
