Going further for local businesses
As a Queensland-based producer of essential energy, we’re committed to powering the state’s future by supporting regional growth.
Home > Sustainability > Regional development
We prioritise buying local goods and services whenever possible – because every dollar spent locally strengthens businesses, supports families, and helps regional economies thrive.
Arrow partners with a wide range of local suppliers, from neighbourhood cafes and motels to cleaning and landscaping services, both through contracted and non-contracted arrangements.
We also seek to hire locals to provide skills development, contribute to regional economic activity, and foster community connection.
