The ABS counted 1,738 businesses at June 2025 across the single statistical area spanning Picton, Tahmoor and Buxton, up 19.9% from 1,450 in 2021. Construction dominates with 548 businesses. That is 31.5% of the total, a bigger slice than in Camden (25.8%) or Leumeah (25.2%). Professional services (156) and rental, hiring and real estate (144) follow a long way back. About 52% are sole operators, and 633 businesses employ one to four people. That suggests a lot of small crews, where a steady flow of quote requests keeps a team working.
