Why the Manning Valley?

Taree is already home to one of the largest manufacturing centres outside the metropolitan area. The Manning Valley offers a diverse range of both quality and affordable housing whether it be by the beach, in the regional city of Taree or deep in the rainforest hinterland, there is a lifestyle opportunity with your name on it.

Greater Taree is situated in the pristine Manning Valley, less than three hours north of Sydney on the Pacific Highway. Its un-spoilt beaches, natural rainforests, abundance of water and access to a wide variety of services are just some of the reasons people have chosen the Manning Valley to live and work.

The availability of Industrial and commercial land, as well as both affordable and luxury housing present an entire package for business wishing to establish, expand or relocate. Already, Taree is home to many large scale businesses that have chosen this path such as United Group Limited Rail (300 employees), Ardagh Group (100 employees) along with many others.

The Manning Valley has experiencing significant growth over the last ten years in both residential and industrial development.

Principles of Greater Taree City Council applied over the years in relation to future development:

Industrial premises leases are far more cost effective than in metropolitan areas.

Industrial land for purchase can be found from around $65 per square metre.

Industrial sheds for lease start at around $40 per square metre per annum. A high quality bulky goods retail premises was recently leased for $45 per square metre per annum and leases can be as high as $85 per square metre per annum.
