Central Coast Council has developed the region’s first Business Retention and Expansion (BR&E) Survey, designed to strengthen and support the local economy.
The survey will help identify what’s needed to keep and grow businesses and industries on the Central Coast.
Acting Council CEO Marissa Racomelara said the initiative was aimed at gathering valuable insights from local businesses to help ensure the continued growth and success of the business community.
“The BR&E Survey is part of Council’s ongoing commitment to foster a thriving environment for businesses and industries,” she said.
“Local businesses and industries are vital to our local economy, providing employment for thousands and anchoring the region’s continued prosperity.”
Council Administrator Rik Hart said the inaugural survey was a great opportunity for local businesses and industries to have their voices heard and share their experiences and challenges.
“We want each Central Coast business owner and manager to know that taking the time to complete the Business Retention and Expansion Survey is an investment in the future of their business,” he said
“The insights provided will inform the initiatives that address the specific needs of our growing business community.”
The survey covers key areas such as infrastructure requirements as well as workforce and training, along with sourcing investment and future growth plans.
The information gathered will be used to identify trends and connect businesses to targeted support programs and resources.
The survey will run from Monday, September 2, to Monday, September 30.
