Local businesses are invited to be part of Lismore City Council's planning to support business and economic renewal that builds on flood recovery efforts across the Local Government Area.
The council wants to understand the issue impacting the business community, and what they need to rebuild, in order to advocate effectively and work collaboratively with government agencies to achieve the best outcomes.
Visit https://yoursay.lismore.nsw.gov.au/have-your-say-renewing... to share your thoughts and register for an upcoming Business Renewal Forum:
Tuesday, August 2: 2pm to 3.30pm - Nimbin Community Centre
Wednesday, August 3: 10am to 11.30am -Northern Rivers Business Hub at the Southern Cross University Enterprise Lab (Block A), Lismore
Thursday, August 4, 9.30am to 11am - a virtual forum if you can't make it in person.
Council staff are running the forum sessions in collaboration with the Lismore Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Nimbin Chamber of Commerce, Business NSW, Department of Regional NSW, and Regional Development Australia - Northern Rivers. Each forum will feature a short presentation, followed by Q&A and opportunities to engage with support agencies.
The survey and forum sessions complement other engagement and planning underway across a range of priority issues, including (but not limited to) housing, flood response and mitigation, insurance and funding opportunities, and building back better.
