Bathurst is an ideal market for those wishing to invest in a local and vibrant regional economy. Its sustained growth is but one attraction, along with the close proximity to various other key regional and metropolitan areas. Initially its distance to Sydney, as well as Canberra, Dubbo and Wagga Wagga provide opportunity, though it is also placed on transport routes between Melbourne and Brisbane. Bathurst is often thought of as Sydney's door to regional NSW through its central location and infrastructure.

Access to and from the Sydney markets is achieved by road, rail and air available daily. Ongoing improvements to the Great Western Highway and the push to open up an expressway across the Blue Mountains are opening up greater opportunities for business and industry. Bathurst has a secure water supply and has throughout the drought. The city boasts excellent roads and infrastructure that supports its growth.

Council is proactive and pro development bringing a positive return to the community and enhancing the quality of life in the Bathurst Region.
