Population GrowthWith over 130,000 residents Salisbury has had the
biggest increase in population of any other South
Australian council area in recent times. It’s also among
the youngest, with the median age four years younger
than the Adelaide average. With a diverse cultural mix,
growth has been driven by popularity with overseas
migrants. All of this represents opportunities for local
businesses. More people, more skilled workers and
more demand for housing, goods and services.
A Skilled WorkforceWith over 4,000 students studying at our local
University of South Australia’s Mawson Lakes campus
and the TAFE (Technical and Further Education)
College, Salisbury is able to offer local businesses a
highly skilled and diverse workforce with an above
average rate of trade qualifications. The proportion
of residents with a University or post-graduate
qualification is rising rapidly, supporting the growth of
firms working in knowledge intensive industries.
A sense of progress.Salisbury is a city that is growing in output and stature. Population growth sits alongside industry expansion, and both are underpinned by the continuing growth of our knowledge and skill base.
“BAE Systems is Australia’s most versatile defence and security company. We have provided support to the Australian Defence Force for more than 60 years. We established our headquarters in the city of Salisbury because of its significance as South Australia’s major centre for defence and technology research.”
Glynn PhillipsChief ExecutiveBAE Systems Australia

A Progressive Approach to SustainabilitySalisbury is internationally acclaimed for its
pioneering approach to water and biodiversity
management and through its extensive wetland
network, making it the logical choice for
organisations with an environmentally sustainable
approach to doing business. With 30% of
Salisbury’s water needs being met through recycled
water, local businesses can also achieve significant
cost savings.
Future InvestmentFeaturing prominently in the State Government’s
30 Year Plan, and playing host to a large share
of the Federal Government’s defence industry
provides confidence to ongoing public investment
in Salisbury. Upcoming multi-million dollar projects
such as the Road and Rail Northern Connector,
Parafield Airport commercial developments, Air
Warfare Destroyer project, submarines, AP-3C
Orions and Drone programs provide a strong base.
State Government 30 Year PlanThe South Australian State Government’s 30
Year Plan identifies northern Adelaide as one
of the highest growth areas in the State.

A sense of confidence.Salisbury’s reputation as a business friendly, progressive city is built
upon decades of success. Our prosperous local economy is made up of a
diverse mix of businesses, a skilled and stable workforce, underpinned
by world class local infrastructure and a policy framework that has
encouraged consistent public and private investment over many years.
Salisbury has all the elements in place to provide a bright future for your business. A growing community, a sustainable approach to managing the
environment, a priority place in the State Government’s future vision,
and long term investment commitments that will provide a base for our
ongoing economic growth.
We have some of the best value industrial land available in the country.
Areas including Technology Park, Pooraka, Cavan, Salisbury South and
Edinburgh Parks all offer the infrastructure necessary for expanding
businesses, as well as fast and efficient access to local and international
markets via our excellent transport connections.
Thanks to our role in the country’s defence industry, and our positioning
in the State Government’s 30 Year Plan, we are confident of future
infrastructure investment, with $10 billion, including new intermodal
freight facilities, already on the cards.
