Employment Lands Development Monitor

The Employment Lands Development Monitor (ELDM) is a source of information and a research tool used by developers, investors, government agencies, utilities and councils in the planning, delivery and servicing of employment lands.

  • current stock and availability of employment lands
  • location of serviced employment lands which are ready for development
  • location of recently developed employment lands
