One tier of government

Set up quickly and get faster decisions.

Our one-tier system of government is unique to Canberra.

It reduces bureaucratic hurdles, improves access and efficiency, and streamlines decision-making. This means you’ll spend less time navigating layers of government and more time growing your business.

Connect with the people you need across key government agencies and regulatory bodies. There’s an ease to doing business here with one level of government and access to decision-makers.

Proximity to the Australian Government

Canberra businesses also benefit from their close proximity to the Australian Government.

When tendering for Australian Government contracts, it helps to have an office in Canberra. You’re able to respond quickly and meet in person.

The Australian Government is one of Australia’s largest purchasers. If you’re a government supplier or want to supply to the Australian Government, it make sense to be nearby.

Government, business, research institutes and universities like to collaborate here. We’re also home to embassies and foreign missions.

You’ll also benefit from Canberra’s strong networking opportunities, bringing government and private sector together. You can grow your networks quickly here and build enduring partnerships.

When you’re based in Canberra, you’re always close to the action.
