Manufacturing

The strength of our construction, agriculture and energy sectors makes the Western Downs a prime location for a variety of manufacturing specialties. 

The region’s geographic location, positioned at the centre of a comprehensive transport network, enables great connectivity to markets, supplies, and support services.  

Export opportunities exist through Queensland’s only dedicated 747-8F International Freighter Service (Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport) and the Toowoomba Bypass, which provides direct access to the Port of Brisbane.  

The existing highly skilled workforce is supported by numerous TAFE and trade training centres.

Industrial land is both available and affordable, making the decision for manufacturing companies to relocate and establish in our region an easy one.
