 Introduction
The City of Moreland begins just five kms from the CBD.
Moreland has a well-established high quality manufacturing
base, a growing business services sector and a lively mix of
entertainment venues and multicultural restaurants.
New private sector investment in Moreland is taking many
forms - revitalised industry precincts; new growth in professional
services businesses; exciting re-use of former industrial sites for
mixed business and residential development, all actively supported
by the City of Moreland.
The City has strong and active forms of business support
including a seminar series, business round table lunches and the
Moreland Community Enterprise Centre and the Brunswick Business
Incubator, which provide start-up businesses with office space and
assistance.
Suburbs in the City of Moreland are Brunswick, Brunswick
East, Brunswick West, Coburg, Coburg North, Fawkner, Glenroy, Oak
Park, Pascoe Vale and Pascoe Vale South.
 Industry and
access
Moreland is one of Melbourne's manufacturing centres. As
the first point of contact for many people migrating to Australia,
local manufacturing industry has played a vital role in employing
thousands of people.
The City is well serviced by road, rail and tram routes,
including the Upfield train line, Hume Highway, Bell Street,
Tullamarine Freeway and the M80 Ring Road.
Kodak, a large photographic paper manufacturer located in
Coburg, employs over 1,000 people.
Community diversity
Moreland has one of the most diverse populations in
Melbourne with people from all over the world. It is the embodiment
of a successful multicultural community. The diverse nature of the
community leads to an exciting array of shops, restaurants,
community organisations and businesses. Moreland is a
constant surprise as cultures and people live and work together.
More than 36% of Moreland's residents were born overseas; 45% of
Moreland's residents (aged five years or more) speak a language
other than English at home.
