Council launches business partnerships program
Published on 31 October 2024
Council is launching its inaugural Business Partnership Program that will invite industry to partner with the organisation to deliver essential programs for economic growth.
Local Business Chambers, industry associations and groups are encouraged to apply to partner with Council in the delivery of events, projects and programs that benefit our business community.
The program will provide various streams of funding for local organisations to deliver workshops, information sessions, mentoring programs, industry showcases, awards, networking events and forums that celebrate, develop, grow and create new opportunities for Shoalhaven businesses.
“We are committed to working with local business, big and small and across all industries to create opportunities for growth and prosperity in the Shoalhaven,” said Mayor Patricia White.
“Our goal is to foster a thriving business environment which focuses on building and supporting strong business networks to ensure the Shoalhaven continues to be a vibrant place for enterprise,” Cr White said.
There will be four streams of funding for the 2024-25 financial year including $15,000 for business networking, $20,000 for business development and training, $10,000 for workforce attraction and employment and $25,000 for business excellence celebrations.
To be eligible, applicants must be from, or in partnership with, a not-for-profit organisation and all events must be delivered across the Shoalhaven Local Government Area.
