Website highlights business opportunities

TEN local government areas that make up the Loddon Mallee have come together to create a new website outlining investment opportunities for businesses.

The site, investloddonmallee.com.au, is set up as an “entry-point” for owners or entrepreneurs looking to grow in the region, with both public and private investors targeted.

It is broken up into sections containing information about the Loddon Mallee’s industries, key locations, and current opportunities.

City of Greater Bendigo CEO Craig Niemann said it could be a valuable resource.

“We know this is a great region to do business,” he said. “Having a one stop shop that delivers economic information about each local government area, that demonstrates businesses working in the different industries as well as offer reports… [gives] economic strength to any proposal.

“We look forward to continuing to contribute to make this site a valuable tool for all in business.”

Mr Niemann said there are many successful businesses that have managed to start up and thrive in Bendigo and the new website showcases them.

“The ever-expanding and animal-focused Apiam Animal Health, the futuristic and technology-based Clear Dynamics and the powerhouse of gold mining, Fosterville Mine, all feature as success stories as part of INVEST Loddon Mallee,” he said.

The website also aims to support businesses looking to relocate to regional Victoria and allows companies access to strategic reports and documents relevant to prospective investors.
