Council will continue to partner with Service NSW for Business to promote and access programs for the local business community following adoption of a new partnership agreement by Council this week.  

Service NSW for Business is a division of Service NSW which provides free support to small business owners.

Northern Beaches Mayor Michael Regan said it’s great this support service exists for local businesses given the tough time they’ve had over the last 18 months.

“We’ve done everything we can at a local level from creating new initiatives, assisting local businesses both financially and keeping them informed about the changing landscape particularly during the recent pandemic.  

“Our priority is to ensure they feel supported. We want local businesses to survive and thrive and come back stronger than ever.  

“The ongoing partnership will provide business owners with free support, help them understand industry regulations and to provide practical resources to guide them through starting or growing a business on the Northern Beaches,” Mayor Regan said.  

By partnering with Service NSW, Council will continue to promote the service, provide assistance where needed to deal with enquiries from businesses and update them if our practices change.
