The City of Whitehorse provides immense opportunities for a wide range of businesses. Stretching across 64.3 square kilometres, it is one of Victoria’s largest municipalities with one of the lowest level of rates in metropolitan Victoria.
It is home to one of Melbourne’s busiest suburban transport hubs and boasts the largest concentration of quality suburban office space outside the central business district and St Kilda Road.
