Invest Northern Adelaide Website
Published on 09 Feb 2012
Three Northern Adelaide Councils have developed an innovative new website to raise the profile of their region as a primary attraction for new investment, business and retention of existing businesses.
www.investnorthernadelaide.com.au is the result of the collaboration between the Cities of Playford, Tea Tree Gully and Salisbury and the State Government.
The website was officially launched on 5 February, at Innovation house at Mawson Lakes, by the Premier of South Australia Hon Jay Weatherill MP and Mayors Gillian Aldridge, Glenn Docherty and Miriam Smith.

With approximately 20% of the state’s major projects accounting for more than $23 billion of major projects currently underway or planned for the Northern Adelaide region, a compelling range of opportunities exists for businesses to move to the region.
www.investnorthernadelaide.com.au is an important tool for potential investors, developers, commercial property agents and investment intermediaries and is expected to be used regularly to share information for their clients.
Users of the website can explore, investigate and learn about the economic strengths of the Northern Adelaide region through an interactive map showcasing business opportunities and information about infrastructure, industry clusters and major projects in the Northern Adelaide Region.
The interactive map is designed to be easily accessible and iPad friendly allowing the website maximum portability. It can also be embedded into other businesses’ websites, such as real estate agents to provide a resource to their own clients.
