Home Based Business

The Shire boasts of a strong network of home-based businesses.  This business segment covers a range of activities from traditional pursuits such as agriculture and various trades to those involved in creative industries.

The Byron lifestyle and the fabulous environment is attracting an increasing number of people who can ‘work from a distance’ using the combination of high speed telecommunication and airports that provide ready access to both domestic and international markets.

Research is planned to better understand the diverse home-based business sector and its needs.   Recent survey work suggests that about 23% of resident household have at least one business.  About 60% of the roughly 3,700 businesses in the Shire were sole traders.
