We are developing a Business, Industry and Visitor Economy Strategy.
The strategy aims to provide a clear direction for a resilient, adaptable, and sustainable economy.
In response to a rapidly changing economy, we have brought all sectors into one strategy.
We're working with consultants from Lucid Economics and Tilma Group to develop the Strategy.
Research, workshops, interviews
From February 2023, we've been researching, workshopping and interviewing with:
- local businesses from various industry sectors
- Chambers of Commerce and industry and networking groups
- Agency stakeholders

- economic advantages, barriers, challenges, opportunities, and strengths
- Council’s role in economic development
