Clustering of Engineering and High Technology Industry
Engineering, high technology, ICT and biotechnology businesses should be clustered in suitable locations including corridor town centres, major business nodes, or industrial office parks at town edges, preferably at transport nodes and interchanges.
The RDS seeks to facilitate the clustering of engineering and high technology type industry/businesses such as those found in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and biotechnology, in order to contribute to the Region's competitiveness by promoting innovation and improved business practices. Suitable locations identified by the RDS, include the centre of corridor towns, at established major business nodes within towns, or in 'industrial office park' developments at the edge of towns, normally as part of mixed use schemes, with preferred locations at road or road-rail nodes, and transport interchanges.
