Business survey coming soon!

Local businesses in Cardinia Shire will soon be invited to take part in the Cardinia Business Landscape Survey.

The primary objective of conducting a business survey is to gain insights into the profound impact that COVID-19 has had on local enterprises. Our aim is to acquire valuable information that can guide the provision of essential assistance, enabling these businesses to not only recover but also thrive in the evolving landscape post-pandemic.

Through this survey, our goal is to pinpoint the distinct challenges and specific requirements that businesses face as they navigate through uncharted territory in the aftermath of the pandemic. By amassing comprehensive data on the types of support these enterprises require, we can tailor bespoke initiatives and support programs that align precisely with their individual needs.

Pop-up sessions will be held at the following locations to engage with businesses:

• Thursday 24 August 2023, 10am to 1pm, at Hills Hub, Emerald
• Friday 1 September 2023, 10am to 1pm at Bendigo Bank, Lang Lang
• Friday 8 September 2023, 10.30am to 1.30pm, at Cardinia Cultural Centre, Pakenham

Council staff will also visit Bunyip, Garfield and Koo Wee Rup to speak directly to businesses.

Cardinia Shire Mayor Councillor Tammy Radford encourages local businesses to participate.

“We're enthusiastic about connecting with businesses and ensuring our support and resources align effectively with their needs”, Mayor Radford said.

“Our community told us it’s important to support local businesses, that’s why we want their feedback and ideas on things we can do to help them thrive.”

The survey will open on Tuesday 22 August and run until the end of September at creating.cardinia.vic.gov.au

Businesses who receive a direct invitation are encouraged to use the link emailed to them to access the survey.
