PIC Testimonials

Oxenford

“One of the main advantages of being located in this area is the diverse range of locations for different films, all within easy driving distance. There’s everything from beaches to rainforest, the Outback, the Gold Coast City skyline and Brisbane City. We also have a talented pool of local fi lm industry crews and technicians who compare very favorably with those in other parts of Australia. Another advantage is the abundance of land available should we decide to expand our operations in the future.”

Robina

“There are three main reasons why Robina works for my company. The first is that Robina contains an emerging cluster of hi-tech companies, big and small, which feed off and support each other. The second reason is the close proximity to Bond University, which is one of the leading business and IT teaching institutions in Australia. Also, Robina has been developed as a smart community, where urban and commercial development has been integrated, so it really is the ideal location to incubate hi-tech enterprises of the future – like ours.”

Coolangatta

“Coolangatta has traditionally fulfilled two key roles in Gold Coast City’s economy. Firstly, it has been the entry point to the Gold Coast - originally as the terminus of the Gold Coast railway and then as the location for Gold Coast City’s own airport. It is also the entry point from NSW, being located on the State border. The strategic location and natural attractions of Coolangatta ensure it will continue as the southern entrance and commercial hub for Gold Coast City. The airport is here, and expanding, and the railway is coming back.”

Burleigh

“Burleigh is a diverse suburb offering beachfront living, a community town centre as well as one of the largest small business and light industrial cluster areas in the Gold Coast City. Burleigh has great accessibility and is attractive for staff and customers alike. Westpac’s involvement with the area’s economic development and business growth has given us many opportunities to understand the needs of the local area, enabling us to attract new business and give back to the community through sponsorship and partnership work. We have been particularly successful in our Burleigh Branches in meeting the needs of the local business community and their workforce.”

Yatala

“Uniline Australia moved to Yatala in 1987 because of the many advantages the area offered to a growing company. We are also located in the fastest growing corridor of Australia, with access to a constant influx of people who are available for employment. There is a sense of countryside meeting the city at Yatala, so everyone is relaxed enough to talk freely with other business owners and also to help each other when needed. The community spirit means we have not had any major problems with security.”
