An independent study has found that Victoria's Regional Cities
outperform Melbourne across a number of business indicators .
The, Benchmarking Regional Business Costs, study was a joint inititive
of Regional Cities Victoria (RVC) and Regional Development Victoria
(RDV) , which sought to better understand the regional business
environment compared to Metropolitan Melbourne.
The study found that Victoria's Regional Cities provide clear advantages
for businesses looking to expand or relocate.
These advantages included,
among others, lower land costs, cheaper labour costs and a higher
proportion of trained and qualified residents.
Victoria's Regional areas are vibrant, expanding centres of industry and
lifestyle, and easily accessible to Australia's capital cities via a
network of highways, railways and airports.
Home to some of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes in Victoria,
the regions are also home to tens of thousands of successful businesses
and many major corporations. |
