One of seven vibrant Evocities, Bathurst is the home of Mount Panorama. Bathurst really is the best of both worlds - a beautiful country lifestyle just two and a half hours from Sydney.
In an Australian first, seven of NSW’s leading regional cities have united to form the Evocities campaign and encourage people to live, work and invest in an Evocity.
The seven Evocities are Albury, Armidale, Bathurst, Dubbo, Orange, Tamworth and Wagga Wagga.
Each of the seven cities has dedicated resources and funding to the campaign, and has in turn secured Australian Government funding, as well as support from the NSW State Government and corporate sponsors.
The Evocity name was coined because the cities are centres of Energy, Vision and Opportunity.
The main objective of the campaign is to encourage capital city residents to make the move to an Evocity and invest in the opportunities the cities have to offer.
Moving to an Evocity is not a sea change, not a tree change but a CITY CHANGE.
The campaign will showcase the abundance of opportunities in these regional cities due to their lower cost of living, strong career and business opportunities and enhanced lifestyle. Living in an Evocity means less time commuting, working and stressing, and more time for you and your family to enjoy NSW’s beautiful natural surrounds.
Home of the Mount Panorama racing circuit, Bathurst really is the best of both worlds - a beautiful country lifestyle just two and a half hours from Sydney. It has a full range of quality health and community services, vibrant cultural and sporting communities and a wide variety of retail and bulky goods stores.
As a demographically young city with the median age being 37, Bathurst is supported by a strong educational sector with over 60 institutions located throughout the City. Manufacturing, retail and health sectors underpin this strong and diverse economy.
Affordable housing attracts new residents and property investors, with the latter leveraging high demand for rental properties. With good infrastructure, a competitive cost base and access to a market of more than eight million people, Bathurst is attracting a growing number of business investors.
Bathurst is a healthy and active community and is well serviced by a range of high class facilities and venues. Sporting and recreational pursuits are an essential element of the Bathurst lifestyle with the City and outlying villages offering recreation facilities and associated groups to suit everyone’s sporting and recreation needs.
Bathurst is supported by a progressive Council and essential services that contribute to a steady annual growth rate of 2.2 per cent, the fastest-growing of any NSW regional city.
