About Us
Elevate exists to share the story of the Bathurst region—its people, its places, and its possibilities.
The Bathurst region is where curiosity meets opportunity, and where the extraordinary hides in the everyday. It’s a region that rewards exploration—whether you’re here for a taste of its culture, investing in a new venture, or considering a life-changing move.
About Elevate
At Elevate, we believe ambition and community go hand in hand. Our role is to inspire, connect, and champion the region by bringing together industry and community voices. We celebrate what makes this place unique, while opening doors for new stories to be written.
We work in partnership with all levels of government, recognising that place branding and placemaking are about building on culture, strengthening identity, and shaping a shared future. This work goes hand in hand with policy changes that allow us to reset, speak with one voice, and weave this narrative into everything we do.
We are advocates for our industry and community as we face the challenges and opportunities of the future. By telling a unified story, we ensure the Bathurst region is seen, heard, and valued—locally, nationally, and internationally.
Our Purpose
- To showcase the Bathurst region as a place to live, visit, work, study, and invest.
- To build a shared identity that reflects the strength and spirit of our people.
- To work with government, industry, and community to shape a united narrative.
- To support businesses, communities, and storytellers to share what makes our region extraordinary.
