Campaspe Shire Mayor Cr Rob Amos said there is still time to claim your seat at one of the upcoming industry forums to help shape a new five-year Economic Development and Tourism Strategy for the shire.
"We want to hear from industry groups, business owners, workers and other interested people in the community about the investment, advocacy and programs needed to strengthen our industry sectors and drive economic prosperity into the future," Cr Amos said.
"Campaspe Shire has a diverse and vibrant industry base, and our business community is renowned for being engaged, proactive and innovative. But like many Victorian economies, our businesses and industries have endured phenomenal setbacks and made huge sacrifices on the back of the pandemic, fires and floods.
"Now is the time to be ambitious; to think big! And to take meaningful action together towards building a stronger economy, extending our reach and opening more doors of opportunity for our industries."
The forums include a mix of face-to-face and online opportunities, as follows:
