With the pace of life in cities becoming more and more frantic, it's obvious why the thought of business and industries relocating to country areas becomes so desirable. The relaxed lifestyle and great climate make the Kempsey Shire the perfect choice for any business considering relocation. Kempsey is ideally located almost halfway between Sydney and Brisbane on the Pacific Highway and the main north south railway line. A stable workforce is available and existing industries enjoy virtually trouble free industrial relations. A number of Australia's leading industries have chosen to set up factories and businesses in the Macleay Valley and are enjoying the benefits of life in this progressive community. Akubra, Nestlé Australia Ltd, Boral Bricks, CSR Humes Pipes, Australian Solar Timbers and Australian Pyrotechnics are just some of the businesses that call Kempsey Shire home. The industry giants of the past still play an important role in the local economy today including timber, beef and dairy cattle, maize, potatoes, fishing, prawning and the much loved Macleay River oyster. New and exciting industries are emerging such as crayfish, deer, ostrich and emu farming. The horticulture industry is blooming and tropical fruit and vegetables flourish in the subtropical climate of the Kempsey Shire. The tourist industry is growing as more and more people discover this beautiful valley. The Kempsey Shire is also home to some of the most talented craftspeople and artisans in Australia. Artists, potters, metal and woodworkers, stained glass artists, patchworkers, spinners, weavers and manufacturers of interesting condiments such as jams, pickles and fancy breads and specialty foods all live and work in the valley. |
