BUSINESS & INVESTING

Thinking of investing in the Shire?

Whether it be a large or small investment decision we encourage you to make contact with Council Officers in the first instance to ensure that your investment decision will be a wise one, and can be accommodated with a minimum of fuss, bureaucracy and frustration – particularly if there are Council or other legislative approvals required.

Denmark is ‘open for business’ and we invite you to discover and explore all that our beautiful Shire has to offer.
