Workforce Attraction

To assist local businesses with workforce attraction and recruitment, as well as to promote the region for migration and population growth, Council has developed a suite of resources based on our region's narrative 'it's the people that make it'. These resources are free and available for businesses to use alongside their own branded promotional collateral.

Make your position vacancy even more attractive to potential applicants outside of the region by promoting the fantastic benefits of the Western Downs lifestyle as well as the stunning landscapes, vibrant local events and our wonderful people alongside your own marketing.

Business Support Toolkit

Below are a series of graphics, images, video and brochure collateral that you can use or link to in your job advertisements, email communication or online promotion.

Promotional Magazines

These publications are great to attach to job ads, emails to out-of-region contacts or clients or to promote 'where you come from' when you're travelling. You can embed or link to these documents.

It's the People that Make It!

On the Western Downs, 'it's the people that make it'! This was confirmed in 2020 when Council set about developing a regional brand narrative to support business, tourism and regional identity.

Council's Economic Development Team is keen to connect with local businesses to discuss how we can further support your business.

If you have suggestions or ideas, or want to discuss what services are available, contact Council by phoning 1300 COUNCIL (1300 268 624) or emailing economic.development@wdrc.qld.gov.au.
