General Manager Mining,
Komatsu

"This Brisbane office is the national office for our mining division. The reason why we have situated in Brisbane is because most of the major mining houses are based in Brisbane. Some of our customers are in very remote locations and access to the airport quickly is really a benefit for us. So this facility and the Brisbane arterial roads that we use to get to the airport is a great benefit to us.
Brisbane is an attractive place to live, the cost of living is a lot lower than Perth and Sydney. The demand for people in the mining and construction sector is very high and the ability to attract them to a nice city is a huge benefit to our business."

"One of the significant strengths of Queensland and Brisbane particularly is its proximity to Asia. We are now seeing many businesses who are setting up their regional headquarters here in Queensland and Brisbane is now seen as a great destination to push out into this region which will be the growth area for the world.
There is no doubt we see Brisbane as a truly world-class city. There are many, many opportunities to mention - mining and energy, infrastructure is a key one for us - and we are seeing a lot of investment from overseas countries. It’s a great city, it’s attracting lots of people, lots of investment and we think the future is fantastic."

"I am drawn to Brisbane as a source of talent, innovation, and opportunity. Brisbane is home to industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to renewable energy, agriculture to information technology. It is home to top-notch research centers and a diverse, well-educated workforce; and it bats well above its average in generating jobs for Queensland and Australia. All told, Australia’s “new world city” is fast becoming a key gateway for companies like Dow to do business in Asia and beyond."

As a growing city it’s important that the infrastructure investment supports this growth through the application of innovation and sustainable development.
