With the rail link providing a connection between southern markets and the Asia Pacific region, business has been quick to establish itself in Darwin – Australia’s Asian Gateway.
Darwin offers many opportunities to capitalise on the new AustralAsia Trade Route and will become a base for the consolidation, distribution and processing of international and domestic freight. A new 100 hectare business park, adjacent to the major freight terminal of the new transcontinental railway, is now operational.
The business park offers:
* Connections to the national highway network for road freight
* Efficient access to the intermodal facility on East Arm Port,
* Access to Darwin’s international airport just 10 minutes drive away
Land parcels are offered on a 99-year lease and on attractive commercial terms. International freight operations will benefit from the direct road/rail connection to the intermodal freight facilities at East Arm Port, providing direct international shipping connections.
Already, several large Australian companies have established operations in the Darwin Business Park. These include TOLL’s major distribution and consolidation centre and Vopak’s $55 million Darwin Industry Fuel Terminal. Natural Fuels plans to build a new $75 million bio-diesel production facility at the Park by late 2006.
Darwin Business Park provides a rare opportunity for investors looking to establish consolidation and distribution operations and other value-adding services at the northern terminus of the region’s newest trade route. With direct links to berth, or rail and road services, the business park is ideally located for investment in:
* Cold storage facilities
* Food processing and packaging
* Pre-retail preparation facilities
* Light assembly and manufacturing
* Pick and pack distribution
