Brisbane is the growth powerhouse of the Australian economy, outstripping all other major national centres. Now Australia’s fastest growing capital city, Brisbane is undergoing a fundamental shift in its business landscape.

With a world class infrastructure network combining both the Port of Brisbane and the Brisbane Airport, advanced technology and logistics act as an interface between container terminals, road and rail. As well, the Brisbane Airport International and Domestic terminals operate curfew-free.

As the fastest growing capital city in Australia (in real terms), Brisbane continues to expand and develop at a breathtaking rate. The city’s population growth has consistently been the highest of all Australia’s capital cities, averaging 2.2% annually between 2001 and 2006.
