Doing business in South Queensland

South Queensland is a diverse and economically significant region. It is home to long-established industries such as agriculture and food processing as well as growing industries like tourism and energy.

Regional tourism has grown significantly across the entire area, which boasts some spectacular natural wonders, including the Great Dividing Range, Fraser Island and dinosaur fossils in the far west.

The emerging coal seam gas (CSG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) industries will also mean significant national and international investment into southern Queensland communities.
