Business View Australia - November-December 2015

Council considers the promotion

of industries and business and

collaboration between enterprises,

an important economic development

activity. In 2014, a survey of local

Campbelltown businesses identified

areas where Council could provide

assistance to help them grow their

business.

The survey found that businesses

wanted someone at Council they could

talk to about their needs and help

them through government processes.

This was especially true of small

businesses.

In response, Council is developing

the Campbelltown Small Business

Development Program with one of the

primary components being to appoint

dedicated staff to work with small

businesses, to help them with the

development approval process, grow

their business and provide local jobs

for local people.

The goal is to provide an environment

which supports sustainable economic

growth, job creation and business

opportunities.

Council’s strategy to appoint a small

business advocate on its staff will

go a long way in helping the growth

of industry and business in the area.

This is a unique initiative and has not

been tried out by many other local

councils.
