The four main industries that make up the high employment rate include healthcare, hospitality, retail and manufacturing. In fact, it is one of the largest and most concentrated industrial sectors in Victoria. The biggest employment hubs and centres include Moorabbin, Cheltenham, Mentone, Mordialloc and Chelsea. Moorabbin and Cheltenham for their huge industrial zones and Mentone, Mordialloc and Chelsea for their beautiful beach locations! We are so diverse in our offerings.
With many co-working, business districts and clever warehousing projects like Clik Collective and the Morris Moor buildings in Moorabbin, the number of businesses within the City of Kingston will only continue to grow.
The Kingston Collective hope to support, promote and connect businesses to encourage more collaborations and relationships with other ‘local’ businesses to help strengthen the business community.
