Given significant changes to our business industry brought about by COVID-19, we are looking at how we can improve our business plans.
We will be bringing all of our business sectors under one strategy.
It will cover:
- What Council can do in the business industry space.
- Actions to support our established and emerging sectors.
- Key issues such as housing for key workers and land availability.
What will inform the new strategy?
Background to the strategy
Many actions in Our Economic development strategy - Enterprising Byron 2025 have been completed and it’s time to review this strategy.
Both Enterprising Byron 2025 and the draft Byron Shire Sustainable Visitation Strategy 2020-2030 (SVS) were written pre COVID-19. They do not consider the impacts that a global pandemic have had on our business industry and the resulting shift in needs and priorities.
The new strategy has been informed by past engagement with our businesses and community. It will include more engagement in the coming months.
