Investing in Our Economy

A Great Place to Do Business

We’re investing in Alexandrina’s economy – and we invite you to invest too. Economic Development is building a strong foundation for growth in the region, delivering major projects and infrastructure to support our key industries and local businesses.

Alexandrina is a magnet for holidaymakers, families, and sea-change seekers, drawn by its coastal charm, vibrant communities, and natural beauty.

This is a dynamic and expanding region, home to 35,629 residents (ABS, 2025) and on track for a projected population increase of nearly 40% between 2021 and 2041 (PlanSA, 2024).

The local economy is diverse and resilient, with key industries including agriculture, tourism, boating & maritime, construction, and healthcare.

With a Gross Regional Product of $1.34 billion and gross output reaching $2.6 billion, Alexandrina supports over 7,700 jobs (Remplan, 2025). Migration trends show a steady influx of new residents from around Australia contributing to a thriving, future-focused economy.
