Government Services - Developing Rural Diversification

Economic development in smaller communities has been rejuvenated as available resources in rural areas increase to rival those in urban centres.

Giving rural businesses urban advantages

Now more than ever before, rural communities can enjoy the same economic benefits as larger urban centres, due to the availability of high-speed broadband. This means that new businesses and industries have the chance to flourish because of the capabilities the SuperNet enables, including:

  • Providing rural-based businesses with the resources to attract and retain a qualified workforce
  • Allowing residents in small towns to develop and further their trade and technical skills locally through on-line training
  • Offering local businesses access to time and cost saving tools such as videoconferencing suites
  • Enabling rural businesses with multiple locations to easily communicate and share information between offices
  • Enabling residents to search for a job, research market trends when setting up a new business and access economic support programs, all from the local library
