Welcome

Thanks for your interest in The Ultimate HQ competition. You’re now one step closer to winning one of Australia’s most exciting business opportunities. We’re looking for a bold, ambitious business with big ideas, and we can’t wait to hear what you’re building.

Moreton Bay Central and City of Moreton Bay sit at the heart of South-East Queensland, Australia’s engine room.  This fast-growing city-region is home to 4.2 million people, with 1 in 6 Australians calling SEQ home – that’s an amazing talent pool to fuel your growth.  And with two thirds of the world’s population within an eight-hour flight, your opportunity to scale becomes unlimited.  Add to that a pipeline of over $100 billion in infrastructure investment and the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and you have all the ingredients to scale and deliver growth.
