Council is open for business

Over recent years, the Guyra Shire Council has established a reputation as being "open for business" and welcomes new businesses and industries to the Shire.

The Council has been pro-active in promoting the Shire at Country Week in Sydney and at other appropriate venues.

Since 2005 the population has increased by 0.5%; gross regional product is climbing at a healthy 5.3%; there is a surplus of labour available for new business; an employment agency, Jobs Australia, is handily located in the main street; the area has very affordable housing with rising prices; and development worth $87 million has been approved in the last three years.

Business statistics

The most recent ABS Australian Business Register indicated there were an estimated 663 business entities registered in the Guyra region as at June 2006. Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing are by far the largest industries in terms of business numbers in the Guyra area, accounting for 67.9% of the total number of businesses. The next largest sectors with regard to business numbers were the Property and Business Services (8.1%), Retail Trade (5%) and Construction (4.5%) industry divisions.
