The Hervey Bay Region located in sunny Queensland was once known as just an iconic tourist destination and is now an emerging infrastructure hub with multi-billion-dollar investments into leading infrastructure projects that are shaping the area, making it a very compelling option for astute investors to purchase property.
Hervey Bay proudly supports a range of traditional and emerging industries including manufacturing, construction, new housing developments, and commercial and retail projects.
Tourism and residential populations are growing creating economic opportunities such as housing development to commercial and retail, health services and tourism.
Infrastructure Investment = Population Growth = House Price Growth
To respond to this growing population and demand, there is a strong multi-billion dollar investment in new projects underway and on the horizon for the region including the $7B QLD Government Train Manufacturing Plant that is expected to employ over 800 people.
$7B QLD Government Train Manufacturing Plant
The Queensland Train Manufacturing Program was established to meet the increasing demand for rail transport in South East Queensland over the next 10 years. The 65 new six-car passenger trains will be manufactured at a purpose-built production facility at Torbanlea, in the Maryborough region. Construction of this facility will begin later this year.
