Read the meeting minutes and the adopted strategy below:
The Strategy has been developed based on feedback from businesses and residents and several comprehensive studies of the Local Government Area's (LGA) economy.
It identifies what makes the Northern Beaches local economy distinct and what we want to be known for as a place to start, grow or attract new business. It will build on our emerging competitive advantages, including our strong entrepreneurial spirit, creating new opportunities for short-term economic recovery and longer-term prosperity over the next decade and beyond.
Along side the Strategy is the Business and Industry Stakeholder Committee. This Committee provides a high-level industry forum to understand changing economic and business needs and opportunities across the Northern Beaches. Find out more about the Committee.
