The business community of Tullamarine, Victoria, will be included in a Brimbank Council strategy to secure the local government area as West Melbourne’s economic hub.
The draft Economic Development Strategy 2016-20, according to Brimbank Administrators Chair John Watson, will play an important role in placing Brimbank in a good position for further development and growth.
Watson said the strategy will build on the sustained economic development experienced in the area over many years, and demonstrated by a great mix of private and public investment in recent years.
He said Brimbank already made a significant contribution to the state and regional economy, as it hosted the most businesses, recorded the greatest output, and offered the most jobs among its neighbouring municipalities.
The vision, he said, was to make Brimbank a focus of competitive, innovative, and dynamic businesses where collaboration and leadership led the way in a vibrant commercial space.
As part of the strategy, Council plans to boost opportunities for investment and business activity in a range of areas, ranging from printing services to retail and commercial industries.
Watson said participation in education and employment will also be facilitated as well as a commitment to build resilience and competitiveness within the Brimbank economy.
He said the residents will be able to view the draft strategy when it goes on public exhibition from April 18.
