Council endorses strategy to strengthen local economy Published on 10 December 2021 Baw Baw Shire Council has endorsed a strategy to deliver sustainable economic growth and a bright, thriving future for our region and its businesses. The Economic Development and Visitor Economy Strategy was presented at Wednesday’s Council meeting and was moved by Cr Joe Gauci, seconded by Cr Annemarie McCabe and supported unanimously by all Councillors in the Chamber. The Strategy provides a range of targeted actions over the next three years to realise Baw Baw Shire’s economic vision “to create a regional city that has a thriving local and global economic impact, where families can live and grow and vibrant communities flourish”. To further develop and support a strong economy across the Shire, the Strategy focuses on four key areas: Leadership and Advocacy Business Attraction and Investment Business and Workforce Development Visitor Economy and Major Events To make sure it was hitting the mark with local businesses and stakeholders, Council sought feedback on the Strategy between 15 October to 15 November 2021. A total of 58 responses were received throughout the consultation period and direct engagement was carried out with the local business community, industry associations, regional partners and other interested residents. Based on the feedback provided from these key stakeholders, the following priorities were highlighted: Enhancements to the Better Business Program to further support businesses with the permit process The recreational development of Tarago Reservoir The undertaking of a feasibility assessment into the introduction of EV charging stations Establishing Baw Baw Shire as the home of food and wine Supporting our Indigenous Economy by enhancing collaboration between Council and the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC).
