The Economic Development team organises a variety of in-person and online business services including 1-on-1 business mentoring and workshops.
Sessions are often free or otherwise heavily subsidised to ensure businesses of any size can access the services.
Upcoming sessions can be found on the What’s On website. New sessions are announced fortnightly in the Economic Development newsletter.
Non-Council business support opportunities — including programs and resources from other providers like the ATO and Business Victoria — are regularly shared through our Economic Development newsletter. Subscribe here to stay updated.
Business Workshops
Various in-person and virtual workshops are offered throughout the year for local businesses, covering a wide range of topics. Workshops typically run once a month, with topics chosen based on annual business surveys, direct feedback from the business community, and current industry or economic demands.
