Good communication and access to the right information are some of the most critical aspects of running a successful business. Welcome to the first Noosa Council Economic Development newsletter which is aiming to help our local businesses with both of these issues….plus more! So why is Council launching our “Noosa, Good for Business” E-Newsletter? We already interact with our community in many ways, but this newsletter is specifically for our business community.
We have a very passionate Economic Development Team that is always trying to find ways to help grow local business. Whether it is running business networking events, helping businesses find out about State or Commonwealth business grants or simply providing baseline economic data, this team is at the forefront of improving our local business environment. | |
This eNewsletter will become a treasure trove of information. I hope that you find this newsletter interesting, relevant and above all, useful to your business.
It will help you stay connected with Council and perhaps learn more about how we can help the local business community thrive in our great Noosa environment.
Cheers, Brett de Chastel Chief Executive Officer | | | |
