The Southern Inland Region is uniquely located between the two biggest population centres and domestic economies in Australia - Sydney and Melbourne, and surrounds the Australian Capital Territory. The region encompasses Hilltops, Upper Lachlan, Goulburn, Queanbeyan, Monaro, Wingecarribee and the Yass Valley.

Just two hours from Sydney and one hour from Canberra, Goulburn-Mulwaree gives businesses great access to markets, resources and ports but with much lower overheads.

The Hilltops region is located in the Tablelands of New South Wales. The area is just over an hour north of Canberra and features the thriving towns of Young, Harden and Boorowa, along with a wide range of villages that are bursting with a rich history. The region is renowned for agriculture, including sheep grazing, cropping, viticulture, stone fruits and horticulture.

Queanbeyan-Palerang is an area of approximately 5,300km2 located between the eastern border of the ACT and the Great Dividing Range. Queanbeyan makes up the majority of the urban population and is a prospering river city.

Upper Lachlan is an area that is known for its quaint villages, fine wool, potato production, wind farms, history and picturesque countryside.

Located on the doorstep of the Nation’s Capital, Yass Valley boasts a modern and well renowned food and wine scene, numerous education options, employment opportunities and medical and general services including a hospital, three large supermarkets, sporting facilities and housing opportunities well below the median house price of nearby Canberra.

The drought, floods, bushfires and COVID-19 pandemic will have lasting impacts on the economy, infrastructure, social systems, natural environment and wellbeing of people and communities across the region – impacts that require a new approach.

Innovative mitigation measures to manage and use water, protect waterways, biodiversity and wildlife corridors, harness renewable energy and prepare for natural hazards by reducing exposure and addressing vulnerabilities to help tackle the impacts of climate change. A circular economy and low-emissions transport initiatives support a more sustainable and net zero emissions future.

Carbon sequestration through soils on agricultural land could mitigate the impacts of climate change. However, effectively enabling this process, requires management actions such as stubble retention, maintaining ground cover, pasture phases in crop rotation, improving plant production through nutrient management and overcoming soil constraints such as soil acidity.

The area has many great schools where professional development opportunities, learning programs and strategies are on offer to support every stage of your career. Thanks to its close proximity to the ACT and Victoria, the southern area of NSW has many of the services found in larger cities and towns.

Charles Sturt University has a campus in Goulburn. Charles Sturt University teaches the Associate Degree in Policing Practice from the NSW Police Force Academy in Goulburn. This academy provides the majority of the NSW Police Force’s education and training needs.

Southern NSW Local Health District covers an area of 44,534 square kilometres. The Goulburn Hospital and Health Service Redevelopment includes a new four-storey clinical services building which will house most health services in one location.

The new facility will have a new main entry and hospital reception, a new emergency department, a new medical imaging department, a new intensive care unit, new operating theatres, day surgery, recovery and pre-admission areas, new medical, surgical, paediatric and geriatric inpatient wards with specific designated palliative care beds and a new maternity and birthing suite.

The South East and Tablelands Region contains valuable mineral resources including coal,
precious and base metals and extractive materials.

The region contains deposits of several important base metals (lead, zinc, silver, copper) in the Woodlawn and Captains Flat areas. Extractive resources, including construction material such as sand, hard rock and sources of clay and shale for brick making, are extracted throughout the region, including around Googong, Bungendore, and Lake George. Gold is extracted from Majors Creek.

Electricity generation and the agriculture and transport sectors contribute the bulk of emissions in the region. While the region does not have its own renewable energy zone, the existing renewable energy network, coupled with increased renewable energy into the NSW electricity grid will benefit the region and reduce emissions. Renewable energy initiatives are therefore supported with a particular focus on reducing emissions from agriculture and
transport.

The region is already a well-established hub for renewable energy with its many wind and solar farms. Solar photovoltaic uptake is also relatively high in the region with installation on 33% of dwellings, higher than the state and national average. Increasing uptake together with battery storage will reduce emissions and improve

Visitors to the South East and Tablelands Region enjoy year-round access to mountains, coasts and rural hinterlands, as well as Canberra’s world-class cultural institutions, such as the National Museum of Australia, the Australian War Memorial and the National Gallery
of Australia.

The tourism industry brings $1.2 billion to the regional economy each year. The Snowy
Mountains, the south coast and the rural hinterland offer recreational experiences including food, wine and cultural trails.

The Snowy Mountains tourism industry contributes more than $500 million to the regional economy each year. This market is geared towards winter, with more than half the visitation occurring during the peak snow period, making it the most seasonal tourism location in Australia.

Agritourism ventures such as farm stay accommodation, farm gate activities and farm
events enable farmers to diversify and value-add to their existing farming enterprises.

The region’s transition to a circular economy will bring opportunities for new industries, employment and waste reduction, while reducing emissions and improving resilience. The region can benefit economically, socially and environmentally from waste resources by reusing, repairing, sharing and recycling waste.

Agriculture is a heavy greenhouse gas emitter. Improved agricultural practices can reduce emissions, as can the transition to regenerative agricultural practices, such as increased crop and animal diversity, composting crop residue and organic matter, and improving grazing practices.

Australia India Free Trade Agreement
Australian businesses and consumers can now take advantage of new trade opportunities offered by the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA), which entered into force on 29 December 2022.

Over 85 per cent of Australian goods exports by value to India are now tariff free, rising to 90 per cent in six years, and high tariffs have been reduced on some additional products. In addition, 96 per cent of imports from India are now tariff free, rising to 100 per cent in four years.

The agreement helps secure access to the fast-growing Indian market of over 1.4 billion people and gives Australian businesses opportunities for trade diversification.
