Help shape Council’s Economic Development Strategy

Local businesses are being encouraged to attend a workshop to provide their input into Strathbogie Shire Council’s Economic Development Strategy for the next four years.

The strategy aims to encourage economic growth in the Shire and will outline a clear economic focus for the key townships.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor, Cr Laura Binks, said the strategy would fulfil Council’s aspirations for a vibrant and prosperous community that offers businesses a broad range of highly rewarding opportunities for work and investment.

“Our Economic Development Strategy will show how we can continue to build our economy, while attracting and retaining jobs for current and future generations,” Cr Binks said.

“Our aim is to create thriving townships that are strong, adaptable and sustainable.”

She said the strategy would consider the economic and demographic trends and macroeconomic influences that are impacting the local and regional economy.

“The information in the strategy is informed by independent research and analysis, as well as consultation with representatives of community groups, organisations, businesses and Government stakeholders,” she said.

“This is where we need your help. We are encouraging all business owners from every industry in our Shire to join us to discuss our collective economic future and contribute to this important project.”
