Consultation Closed - Economic Development & Visitor Economy Strategy

This strategy will provide a range of actions over the next three years for Baw Baw Shire Council to realise its economic vision:

“To create a regional city that has a thriving local and global economic impact, where families can live and grow and vibrant communities flourish. Baw Baw Shire is the place where the country meets the city, a place where the future is bright and potential is realised.”

True, effective and sustained economic development within Baw Baw Shire is an outcome that can only be achieved through collaboration. It is through collaboration that local government can deliver sustainable economic development and a bright, prosperous future for our community.

The key to achieving this goal is to obtain feedback from our community to help shape the future of our economy.

The Economic Development and Visitor Economy Strategy 2022-2025 will play a vital role in Baw Baw Shire assisting businesses to grow and proposer .We want to hear what key themes the community would like to see incorporated into the new Strategy, which will guide Council's Economic Development work for the next three to four years.
