Local businesses are being urged to head online and complete the Griffith Business Survey before 31 December 2023.
The purpose of the Griffith Business Survey is to collect data which will guide Griffith City Council and Griffith Business Chamber in supporting local businesses in the future, as well as analyse the current business climate. The last survey was conducted at end of 2019, pre-COVID-19.
Griffith Mayor, Councillor Doug Curran said the Griffith Business Survey will be a vital tool moving forward and it is important to get a broad cross-section from the business community to complete the survey.
"The more comprehensive and diverse the information is the better," Councillor Curran said.
"Operators from across the Griffith region are encouraged to participate, whether your business is in agriculture or manufacturing, beauty or health Council and the Chamber want to hear from you."
The information collected will be analysed and grouped together by different categories such as industry, business size or location.
The Griffith Business Survey will assist with the following initiatives;
• inform the development of strategies and long-term plans
• support grant applications for our region
• provide valuable information for major infrastructure projects and developments
• be a valuable tool for local businesses to determine opportunities within their industry and provide key information to attract investors.
The Griffith Business Survey is now open and can be found at griffith.nsw.gov.au/businesssurvey Survey closes on 31 December 2023, with the summarised data made available to the public by the end of February 2024.
