Share your views on the draft Economic Development Strategy

We have developed a draft Economic Development Strategy 2026-2029 to strengthen local prosperity, support businesses and prepare for the long-term economic challenges and opportunities.

The draft strategy identifies priority actions over the next four years to build partnerships, boost business confidence, support industry growth, and provide jobs and services in our community.

Has the draft strategy and its actions captured the important things Council can do to support the future needs of local business and industry?

We invite you to tell us your level of support for each action proposed in the six strategy areas, to help refine Council’s plans for supporting local economic development.

This engagement is open until 5pm Monday 2 March 2026.
