We proudly joined the 'Small Business Friendly Council' initiative by signing the Small Business Friendly Council Charter an initiative from the Office of the Small Business Commissioner. 

This commitment aligns with our Economic Development Strategy, focusing on removing barriers and making it easy for business owners to start, run and grow a business in our City.

The Small Business Friendly Council initiative Charter Agreement outlines that we are committed to:

  1. Implementing activities to improve the operating environment for small business within the Council area.
  2. Establishing a business advisory group (if one does not already exist) to assist Council’s understanding of small business in its area;
  3. Implementing a procurement policy which recognises and supports local small businesses wherever possible.
  4. Paying undisputed invoices from small businesses within 30 days.
  5. Implementing a timely and cost effective dispute resolution process to manage disputes.
