Encouraging business and local jobs
Small businesses are an integral part of our local economy and vibrancy of our communities.
Many small businesses in Nillumbik are entrenched in the landscape and help foster and promote our community values, sense of place and cultural identity.
Supporting small businesses is also about supporting peoples passions and pursuits – fostering creativity, entrepreneurship and innovation.
Small businesses are job creators, and most of those jobs are local jobs.
Small businesses are integral parts of local economies, helping to create webs of financial interdependence that foster broad-based prosperity.
The more that small businesses leverage their potential to support each other, the greater their capacity to create a thriving local business community.
PALs advocates for much greater and tangible business support to help drive sustainability of our shire and arrest the enormous economic leakage out of Nillumbik to surrounding shires.
