Bathurst really is the best of both worlds - a beautiful country lifestyle just two and a half hours from Sydney. Bathurst is Australia’s oldest inland settlement located just over 200 kilometres west of Sydney on the Macquarie River.

As the hub of central New South Wales, Bathurst provides access to a market of more than 8 million people, which in turn attracts and fosters new and emerging business opportunities capitalising on the Regions competitive strengths.

An idyllic lifestyle is supported by quality infrastructure and essential services that contributes to a steady annual growth rate of 2.19%, the highest of any Regional City in NSW (ABS: 2010).

Council is currently undertaking the development of a fresh new investment and lifestyle website which will promote the Regions competitive strengths. This website will provide detailed information for residents considering a relocation, business considering relocating, those looking to invest, and act as an information portal for existing business in Bathurst Region. It is anticipated the website be active by October 2010.

Should you have an enquiry related to a business or lifestyle relocation please call Council's Manager Economic Development on (02) 6333 6276.
