Council's industrial strategy, Brisbane: Our Productive City, describes Australia TradeCoast (ATC) as Brisbane's most recognised industrial precinct, due to its association with the Port of Brisbane and Brisbane Airport. Council expects ATC to contribute $6.7 billion to Brisbane's industrial gross regional product and employ 38,000 industrial workers by 2041, with a focus on export-oriented industries.

The strategy says new business parks for large-format distributors and other industrial operators will build on successful examples of these facilities in Eagle Farm and Murarrie.
