Clutha Development chief executive Linda Moore said there were still about "100 or 200'' inquiries every day from people interested in moving to the district.
The Clutha Development website, which had information about living and working in the district, had received about 288,000 hits since the start of July.
Because of the exponential demand, projects facilitator Joanne McLeary has been employed to help go through the inquiries and liaise with businesses to identify any jobs which might suit those interested in moving to the area.
She encouraged more businesses to capitalise on the interest.
"There's a few out there that are aware of [the media attention] but we're only just at the beginning,'' she said.
There were the obvious major employers, such as Silver Fern Farms, but Mrs McLeary was contacting any and all businesses and potential employers.
Mrs Moore said many employers did not often advertise and jobs were filled through word of mouth.
Even if businesses did not want to advertise, Clutha Development still had the resources to be able to match potential employees to jobs or roles in the district, Mrs Moore said.
"It's about finding the right skills or people to fit the job.''
Mrs Moore said it had taken "a bit to churn through'' the inquiries online and identify which were serious opportunities.
Some people had already visited from as far away as Auckland, just to see what the district had to offer in terms of employment and a community.
Mrs Moore hoped the increased inquiries meant there was serious potential for economic growth in the area.
