In addition to these, Council is planning to hold a second New Business Strategic Connector Event in September, following the success of its 15 March event.

“We had a fantastic turnout, with more than 80 new businesses attending [that] event, and learning about what support is available to them locally and through state government agencies” Mayor Peter Gangemi said.

“As the name suggests, our New Business Strategic Connector event aims to connect small business to local networking groups, to Council’s Economic Development Team and with other likeminded people who are on the same journey as them.

“If you are a new business, I highly encourage you to attend the next New Business Strategic Connector Event or get in touch with our Economic Development Team through the Business Help Desk and Concierge Program. They can offer a range of support, and in-person, on all things small business related.”
