Where to locate your business |
 |
The Hervey Bay City Planning Scheme has been developed as the framework for managing and regulating
development throughout the city.
Locations to be considered for your business are:
Commercial Areas
These are precincts that are suitable for retail and office environment, and
the activities that have minimal impact on public facility and do not generate
significant noise.
In the City area, commercial and industrial development is (and will continue
to be) accommodated in defined zoned areas for commercial and retail development.
In the smaller urban areas, there are defined commercial centres, but some services
will be located in the “village zone” and to a limited extent the “residential”
areas.
The retail and commercial strategy for the City focuses on the following key
areas:
- Pialba
- Boat Harbour Drive
- Tourist nodes of Scarness, Torquay, Urangan and the Boat Harbour
- Neighbourhood/cluster shopping
- Local shops

Industrial Areas
These are precincts that are suitable for manufacturing and repairs, automotive
industry, metalworkers, cabinetmakers. These areas allow some noise, some outside
storage of materials and may be more suitable for certain business operations.
The development strategy for the City provides for industrial development in
a number of key locations, and focuses the development of industrial uses within
the established and/or zoned industrial areas in the City.
General Industry is located at Urangan (Pulgul Creek and Ellengowan Street) and
the Lower Mountain Road/Burrum Heads Road area.
Light/Service industry is located at Elizabeth Street and in the Islander Road
area.
