There is no doubt that the health of a community is sustained by a healthy local economy.

This is why we created our Economic Development Strategy.

Our Economic Development Strategy is all about fostering sustainable growth to achieve:

• more local job opportunities
• a vibrant business community
• educated and skilled employees
• the best use of new technologies, and
• more visitors to help our community grow

It is our commitment to:

• support local businesses to help them be successful
• stimulate a business climate that attracts new businesses
• encourage education and training providers to deliver local programs that assist our residents to build their knowledge and skills, and
• use the latest technologies to make it easier to do business with us and to improve our efficiency in delivering services
