The Surf Coast Region in Victoria is experiencing unprecedented economic growth, with Torquay leading the charge as one of Australia's most dynamic entrepreneurial hubs.
TORQUAY, Australia - AussieJournal -- Once known primarily as a sleepy surf town, Torquay now boasts one of the highest concentrations of Australian Business Numbers (ABNs) per capita compared to other cities and regions across the country. This remarkable statistic reflects the entrepreneurial spirit that has taken root in this coastal community.
"We're seeing such an exciting blend of lifestyle appeal and creative businesses here on the Surf Coast," said Angela, owner of Awkwardly Social, a Social Media Agency. "Our business has really grown over the past year because of the demand for social media by small business owners on The Surf Coast."
The surge in business registrations is largely driven by solopreneurs and micro-enterprises, many established by residents who previously commuted to larger urban centres for employment. As the region's population has grown, these entrepreneurs have identified opportunities to provide goods and services locally rather than relying on external markets.

The transformation is particularly notable given the region's history as a smaller coastal destination with limited commercial infrastructure. Many new business owners cite the area's natural beauty, community atmosphere, and improving digital connectivity as key factors in their decision to launch ventures here.
Tech startups, creative agencies, sustainable product companies, and specialised service providers now operate alongside the region's traditional surf industry businesses. The diversity of these enterprises is contributing to a resilient local economy and creating new employment opportunities for residents.
Local business support organisations report that networking events and entrepreneurial workshops regularly reach capacity, reflecting the community's hunger for connection and growth. Businesses have responded by increasing resources dedicated to small business development and exploring the creation of co-working spaces to accommodate the influx of digital nomads and remote workers.
To help consumers discover these emerging businesses, Search Surf Coast has developed a comprehensive local business directory. This interactive marketing platform showcases businesses in a localised, all-in-one system that is continuously optimised for searchability, sales, and growth.

"Many of these businesses were previously hidden gems," explains Nikki Coughlin, founder of Search Surf Coast. "Our platform increases their visibility in local search results, driving more foot traffic, phone calls, and online engagement—all of which create opportunities for sales conversion."
As the Surf Coast Region continues to evolve from a tourist destination to a year-round hub of innovation and enterprise, both government and private sector leaders are working to ensure infrastructure keeps pace with growth while preserving the natural environment and lifestyle that attracted many residents in the first place.
