Business

Sir Thomas Playford's vision for a well planned city, rich with economic drivers continues to underpin the success of economic growth within the City of Playford.

Through careful strategic planning, the city has become a global centre for world class business innovation and growth.

An abundance of key industrial land parcels close to major infrastructure for local, national and international trade makes Playford an obvious choice for industry attraction.

Key business precincts within the city enhance the capacity for industries to engage collaboratively to maximize their markets.

Economic Development has a key role to play in investment attraction and retention, strategic infrastructure planning, business and industry engagement, learning and employment and maintaining partnerships to achieve the best possible outcomes for economic growth.
