Business expansion and retention program survey
News article released on Thursday 31 January 2008
The Greater Shepparton City Council is currently conducting a survey of businesses across the municipality.
Council Business Development Officer Alicia Keogh said the survey is part of a Business Expansion and Retention program designed to support and encourage economic and business development by discovering the barriers to survival and growth that face local businesses."The survey aims to formulate an up-to-date profile of the local economy, identify strengths and potential growth areas for local businesses, assist local business with solving problems and explore new employment opportunities in the region," Ms Keogh said.
"Existing local businesses represent the engine for continuing economic activity and new jobs in our economy.
"It is vital to have initiatives that focus on listening to, and helping, businesses to do better.
"The ideas and issues raised through the survey process will be used by the Council to develop appropriate programs and services for businesses.
"We have also included options for businesses if they would like to be contacted with more information about a particular program or service.
"It is crucial that we have a high participation rate in this survey if the results are to be of value to our business community.
A report covering the findings and recommendations of the survey will be published on the Greater Shepparton City Council website and will be available to all members of the community in hard copy on request.
The results of the survey will also be published in the June Greater Shepparton Greater Business newsletter.
Surveys have been distributed to businesses within the municipality and are also available from the Council website at www.greatershepparton.com.au/businessnews
Completed surveys must be returned to the Council by Friday 29 February.
