The Maroondah Business Expansion and Retention Program consists of interviews with business owners and employers to provide quantitative and qualitative research into the challenges facing business within Maroondah.
This afternoon I accompanied the Maroondah Economic Development Unit with the interviews. The respondents provided similar feedback in regard to a generally optimistic economic outlook, as well as expressing interest in the business events organised by Council.
The feedback compiled during the Business Expansion and Retention Program will assist Council in updating its Economic Development Strategy to ensure that it is relevant to the needs of the business community.
