Competitive Strengths

Compared with other jurisdictions, Tasmania has a number of cost advantages for businesses, such as low labour costs, a stable workforce, low land and accommodation costs and good port access.

The Competition Index 2007-08, published by the Tasmanian Government’s Department of Treasury and Finance, provides an objective assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of undertaking business in Tasmania relative to the other Australian states and territories and, in some cases, New Zealand.

The Competition Index 2007-08 shows Tasmania remains the most competitive state in Australia to run a business. Tasmania ranked most favourable for 12 of the 35 indices.
