Council conducted a Business Survey in 2024 to assist the Economic Development team to develop workplans and understand focus points.
The survey targeted businesses located within the Hepburn Shire, reaching 610 subscribers through a direct standalone email via Council's Business eNewsletter. In addition, it was promoted on social media, in Council's Hepburn Life eNewsletter, advertised in The Local newspaper and on Council's website. The survey encompassed 44 questions specifically related to business.
The survey was an opportunity for Council to understand the challenges and what is considered important for the support, growth and development of local businesses. The survey responses have been analysed and a Business Survey Report and Implementation Plan have been created to support the findings and to align our work over the next 12-18 months.
Council would like to extend their gratitude to all the business owners and operators who gave their time to complete the survey. Your participation and feedback are invaluable and play a crucial role in shaping the future support for our local businesses.
