Global advantages
Strategic economic geography
Located on the eastern coastline of Australia, Brisbane is uniquely positioned to operate across three time zones. This allows companies to access a 24-hour business cycle encompassing the Asian time zone, and tapping into the closing of the American and opening of the European business day. Brisbane’s resident information and communications technology and creative industries multinationals are first to benefit, where access to these development and support cycles is crucial. As the closest eastern seaboard capital city to Asia and home to one of the fastest-growing container ports in Australia, Brisbane also offers unparalleled shipping and transport opportunities. Every year, the Port of Brisbane services more than 2,400 ships and handles more than 32 million tonnes of international cargo, valued at over $34.4 billion (AUD). The Port is serviced by more than 50 shipping lines and businesses can secure (up to) a five-day saving on shipping times, as compared with the Asia to Sydney or Asia to Melbourne routes.
