Trade on the TradeCoast

Australia TradeCoast (ATC) is one of the largest strategic industry development projects in the world, and is gaining national and international recognition as a major economic hub.

The ATC region is located at the mouth of the Brisbane River and is anchored by the Port of Brisbane and Brisbane Airport. The region spans 8,000 hectares of land and encompasses around 7,500 large, medium and small businesses.

The region’s contribution to the Queensland economy is growing at approximately$1 billion per year. It is forecast that by 2026, 100,000 people will be employed in the region, making ATC Brisbane’s second largest employer by area.

Australia TradeCoast is a partnership of Queensland’s industry and government: the Queensland Government, Brisbane City Council and Brisbane Marketing, the Port of Brisbane Corporation (PBC) and Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC).

The other key roles of ATC are to oversee the coordination of infrastructure and planning within the ATC region and to market the region as one of the world’s leading trade and industry hubs.

Over $600 million has been invested in infrastructure by the ATC partnership including roads, rail, water, power, sewerage, and upgrades to the port and airport, and a further $5 billion is forecast to be invested over the next 10 years.

There is a range of significant infrastructure projects currently under construction or design, with more in the planning stage.
