Council has launched its inaugural Business Partnership Program that invites industry to partner with the organisation to deliver essential programs for economic growth.
Local Business Chambers, industry associations and groups are encouraged to apply to partner with Council in the delivery of events, projects and programs that benefit our business community.
The program provides various streams of funding for local organisations to deliver workshops, information sessions, mentoring programs, industry showcases, awards, networking events and forums that celebrate, develop, grow and create new opportunities for Shoalhaven businesses.
There will be four streams of funding for the 2024/25 financial year including:
- $15,000 for business networking
- $20,000 for business development and training
- $10,000 for workforce attraction and employment; and
- $25,000 for Business Excellence Celebrations.
To be eligible, applicants must be from, or in partnership with, a not-for-profit organisation and all events must be delivered across the Shoalhaven Local Government Area.
The first round of assessment and allocation of this funding allows applications to come in up until 24 December 2024. All received applications will be assessed early in the new year, with an aim to announce the outcome by the end of January 2025.
