Locals 4 Locals

Website: https://www.facebook.com/locals4localsarmidale/

‘Locals 4 Locals’ is a very simple concept. It aims to educate the consumer about the major role locally owned small business plays within the community. It aims to provide the consumer with an easy and visible way to recognize businesses that are owned locally and support the local community. All of the businesses displaying the ‘Locals 4 Locals’ stamp are locally owned, and employ local people. These businesses support local charities, local fundraisers, local schools and sporting groups. You will see these local businessmen and women working at many of the above events, for free, to help the local community and special interest groups. These businesses are not corporately owned stores where a large percentage of their money goes out of town. The money stays local!

Industrial Land

In 2013, Regional Development Australia – Northern Inland conducted a survey of councils in the region to provide an overview of the industrial land situation for potential investors. A summary of this information is provided in the following table and charts. Price information was derived from recent sales provided by a local property valuer.

Detailed data for each of the council areas who have supplied data on Industrial Land in a spreadsheet is available here.
