Information Technology
Yes it's true...the information age can offer the reality of high technology businesses without the stress of inner-city living. Dungog Shire meets all the requirements of people that dream of relocating their business away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

With an active interest in Information Technology development, Dungog Shire Council in partnership with the local Industry & Services group has committed itself to the establishment of a leading-edge IT centre for the Shire.

The Hunter Region as a whole is very active in developing IT related business with the establishment of HunterTech, a formal IT network, in 1997. Dungog, being at the Heart of the Hunter, makes a natural location for IT related businesses where lifestyle is a consideration.

The Dungog based E-Commerce solutions business, Midac Media, is a classic example of a company that is capitalising on the ideal lifestyle scenario combined with and excellent and progressive business environment. In 1993 Midac shifted from Sydney where it had been involved in IT research and development since 1981.

'We don't regret our move at all. The quality of life is tops and schooling is of a high standard. Our visits to Sydney are becoming less frequent and serve more to remind us of why we left. It happens as we approach the smog!’
