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.
