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 we're 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.

Consultation Session Phase Two: Broader Community – Draft Growth Strategy Presentation

Phase two of consultation will be open to the community where our consultants will run a series of ‘drop-in’ sessions and present the first draft of the Growth Strategy. All members of the community are encouraged to attend to provide feedback. More details of the sessions will be provided as planning progresses but is loosely scheduled to take place by the end of the year.
