Sustainable Economy Strategy

The Shire is currently working on developing a Sustainable Economy Strategy, to:

• identify the key principles to guide economic development into the future
• set the economic context for the Community Strategic Plan 2036, and
• identify and prioritise key signature projects that will assist in transitioning to a sustainable economy.

Local businesses are vital for the health of the local economy, providing valuable goods, services, and jobs, and the Shire wants to hear from business owners / managers to better understand the challenges and opportunities going forward. 

Business Surveys

In mid-2019 a series of business surveys was circulated to hear from local business owners / managers.  The outcomes from this survey will help inform the Sustainable Economy Strategy currently under development.  Please visit the Sustainable Economy YourSay page to access the Business Survey Report outlining the key findings.
