2025-26 CENTRAL COAST INVESTMENT PROSPECTUS 4 Sydney’s Central Coast – a snapshot Manufacturing and food processing Over 1,000 manufacturing businesses operate throughout the region which accounts for a diverse range of products and employs around 9,000 people. Over fifty food manufacturing and processing companies, including well known international brands, are located in the region. Construction The construction sector and the trade and professional services that it supports is a major contributor to the regional economy. The construction sector is the largest non-government employer on the Central Coast. Numerous building companies from large to small are engaged in residential home building in the region and beyond. Commercial and industrial builders are based in the region and undertake work locally and elsewhere. Distribution, Transport and Logistics The Central Coast is an excellent location for logistics operations being close to Port Botany and Sydney International Airport as well as being centrally located within about two hours driving time, north and south, of a population of around 7.7 million people. Innovation and Technology The Central Coast is a thriving technology literate region. A growing number of technology and ICT companies are established in the region with the result that a Technology / ICT Cluster is being seen as the genesis for a new industry taking advantage of the NBN broadband network throughout the region. Contact Centres With occupancy costs much lower than in capital cities and an extensive skilled workforce with staff turnover among the lowest in NSW, the Central Coast offers an ideal environment for Call Centres.
