Consultation Session Phase One: Business and Key Industry Stakeholder - Roundtable Sessions

In late August, four roundtable sessions were held with local Business and Key Industry Stakeholders, with 35 representatives from industries including but not limited to: childcare, education, aged-care, chambers of commerce, progress associations, builders & tradesmen, ag industry, and real estate. Council contacted approximately 400 business representatives from the Copper Coast using it’s online business directory, seeking expressions of interest and is pleased at the level of interest in participation.

These sessions, which will help steer the strategy’s early development, provided valuable feedback and insights from a diverse cross-section of local business and industry representatives. Participants also highlighted the importance of employment growth, attracting and retaining skilled workers to support local industry and meet the growing demand for health, education, and community services.

All members of the community are encouraged to attend to provide feedback. Surveys will be available to complete both online and printed copies during the consultation period.

The draft strategy will be presented to Council at the February Ordinary Council meeting on Wednesday February 11th for endorsement to open public consultation. Consultation will then open from February 12th for 21 days until March 4th.

Four community sessions will be held across Kadina, Moonta and Wallaroo. Dates to be confirmed soon.
