The Employment Lands Development Monitor (ELDM) is a source of information and a research tool used by developers, investors, Government agencies, utilities and councils in the planning, delivery and servicing of employment lands.

Employment lands are areas zoned for industrial or similar purposes in planning instruments. They are generally lower density employment areas, and provide the essential space for the delivery of utilities and urban services, including depots, repair trades and service centres; and goods including the research, design and manufacturing of goods through to their warehousing, distribution and sale.

The industries and business that locate in these spaces support jobs growth and development, as well as generate significant economic benefits for the community. They are crucial to the functioning of cities and it is critical that there is enough land located in the right places for this to occur.

The ELDM contains information on lands zoned for industrial or similar purposes in planning instruments.
