Economic Development Strategy

Economic development is about attracting and supporting businesses to create jobs.

These jobs create wealth that allows businesses and the wider community to meet their needs and pursue their goals.

Economic development is closely linked to our community's health, wellbeing and sustainability.

It’s built on three key principles:

1. Attracting and supporting businesses to increase employment

2. Building infrastructure to meet the needs of businesses

3. Creating essential employment opportunities that contribute to community wellbeing.

Indicators show that the City will experience strong economic growth and change across multiple sectors in the future.

These changes will be led by significant population growth and shifts in the wider economy.
