Northland Inc, the regions highly regarded
economic development agency, has received
accolades from its peers at the Inaugural Ministry of
Business, Innovation and Employment Awards for its ground
breaking and bestpractice initiative, ‘The Orchard

The
initiative won the attention of the Awards panel because of

In creating the Orchard, the
initiative has brought together the region’s business
support services under one roof whilst the event space has
delivered a heart beat and a pulse for innovation and
entrepreneurship in the region, with over 3000 locals
attending events in the space over a period of just three
months.
Joseph Stuart, project
leader said ‘The delivery model of the Orchard is unique.
We have developed a hybrid approach from investigation of
best practice models internationally and have delivered a
strong intervention to support the business community in our
region.’
‘The collaborative
approach started with the strategic planning and has just
got stronger as we progress, proving to be a catalyst for
new options to expand the Orchard’s foot print from 950sqm
to 1500sqm with a new focus on:
o Tertiary partnerships
o Digital
hubs and
o Incubators
Northland Inc will be presented
with its Commendation on the evening of the 31st August, at
