Nanango Shire's Bumper Growth Rate

This is the highest growth rate projection for any South Burnett Shire and one of the best in rural Queensland.

Come And Grow With Us!

Nanango Shire's economy was once based almost exclusively on rural industries. But during the 1990s our Shire began to diversify its economic base. As a result, we have a wide variety of opportunities today in all fields of business, the professions, the trades, retailing and industry as well as agriculture.

Most of Nanango Shire is located less than 200km from from Queensland's major population centres. This means we're only a few hours' drive from Brisbane and even less to Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast.

This allows us to offer your business all the benefits of a rural lifestyle - like clean air, fresh food and water, a lower cost of living, an eager workforce and a relaxed, happy lifestyle - with easy access to the boom markets that lie right on our doorstep.

This section of our site briefly outlines some of the reasons why Nanango Shire may be an ideal choice for your business too. And if you require further information that's more specifically tailored to your existing business (or new business idea) please don't hesitate to contact us - we're always happy to help!
