Seizing the Opportunities of a Regenerative Economy
Australia's economy is evolving, and the Southern Highlands are at the forefront of this transformation. With billions of dollars being invested in decarbonisation, regional communities across Australia are pioneering innovative 'regenerative enterprises'. These businesses, spanning tourism, food and fibre, energy, housing, biodiversity, and manufacturing, are not only boosting our local economies but also driving wealth back into our communities. They support community wellbeing, enhance resilience, and nurture our unique natural environment and biodiversity. Discover how we can seize these opportunities in the Southern Highlands and pave the way for a thriving regenerative future.
