Whittlesea council launches business opportunity explorer

A new innovative online platform designed to assist businesses in identifying optimal locations within Whittlesea has been launched.

The Business Opportunity Explorer (BOE is an interactive tool that streamlines the process of researching and shortlisting potential new sites for businesses, taking the guesswork out of decision-making about the best location for business operations.

The BOE suits businesses of all sizes, from start-ups to large enterprises across various industries.

It provides comprehensive information and interactive features, including the ability to view the distance to Melbourne’s central business district, airports, seaports, road and rail connections.

Users can also take an interactive tour of the municipality to view current and future infrastructure and explore planned and existing local assets.

Whittlesea council acting chief executive Debbie Wood said the new business tool is ideal for businesses experiencing growth and seeking a new business home or businesses looking to relocate to Whittlesea. 

“The City of Whittlesea is a great destination for business investment, and with the BOE, business can easily find their new location,” she said.  

“We understand that searching for an ideal location is complicated. This platform aims to make the shortlisting process easier, and more convenient, with access available 24/7 and from anywhere in the world.”
