Business Growth

RDA Illawarra will seek to play a major role in assisting greater business growth in the region, particularly for small to medium enterprises. We will continue to pursue the expansion of the very successful Economic Gardening High Growth Business Program and to support the Small Business Clubs operating across the region. We are also keen to develop new and innovative ways to support this sector in terms of greater employment growth, looking at strategies to grow local businesses to operate/trade beyond the region and new ways to attract business investment to the region.

Our Board Member, Greg Fisher, will be Chairing the Sub-Committee on Business Growth.  Current projects that fall within this priority include:

• Economic Gardening
• Small Business Club
• CBD Revitalisation Strategy (view 2010 Summit presentation on this project here)
• Cultural Industry Development (view 2010 Summit presentation on this project here)
• Kiama Agricultural Industry Development (view 2010 Summit presentation on this project here)
