Council is encouraging residents and business people to have their say on the draft Economic Development Strategy 2021-2031 which was endorsed for public exhibition at the 23 June Council meeting.
The draft strategy was developed in consultation with the community and provides a vision for economic development, job creation, education and training and COVID-19 recovery in the Macedon Ranges over the next 10 years.
Macedon Ranges Shire Council encourages all residents and business operators to take this opportunity to give feedback between 28 June and 9 August. Input from all sectors of the business community and from all age groups from the broader community, is welcome.
Angela Hughes, Director Planning and Environment said, “Local economic development aims to increase the economic capacity of the area which, in turn, improves the well-being our local communities. In this way, economic development is ultimately about outcomes that support and benefit our communities.”
“We’ve developed this plan with the input of the community, and we continue to seek your feedback on this important strategy which will guide our focus for the next ten years.”
Submissions close 5pm, Monday 9 August.
