Council is looking for input from local businesses to find out the severity of the impact the Coronavirus Pandemic has had on the region’s economy.
While it is evident COVID-19 is having a significant impact on Australia, there is nevertheless considerable variation across industry sectors and regions.
These industry and region-specific insights are vital for understanding the support that our local businesses require now, and also in coming months when we transition to economic recovery and stimulus.
Local businesses across all industry sectors are encouraged to participate in a survey that will help inform council on where recovery initiatives need to be focused.
Northern Grampians Shire Council Mayor, Murray Emerson, urged as many business owners and operators as possible to complete the survey and let council know what they need.
“While many people are dealing with the day-to-day pressures caused by the pandemic, it is also important to remember that the crisis will pass and that we need to plan for the future,” he said.
“The insights provided by the survey will help us plan for the most effective recovery response possible to ensure business and community can get back on its feet as quickly as possible with long-term solutions.”
“To support rapid recovery and demonstrate the impact for your businesses and your region, a strong quantifiable evidence base is critical.”
The survey is run by REMPLAN, an economic and social research consultancy that works with local governments to collect and understand economic data.
