Consultation has concluded

Willoughby City Council is seeking community feedback for its Draft Economic Development Strategy before 5pm, Monday 14 February 2022.

Please review the Draft Economic Development Strategy in the Document Library and leave your comments below in the survey prior to closure of the community consultation period.

The Draft Economic Development Strategy provides the overarching framework, strategic direction and guiding principles for delivering a City that is prosperous and vibrant.

The strategy identifies the key economic outcomes for the City that will deliver a robust economy where businesses want to be located, where they can grow and thrive in high quality businesses premises, employing highly skilled and motivated staff with access to the highest quality facilities, recreational activities and food and drink options. A place that attracts businesses and visitors from around the world in sectors that lead in creativity and innovation. It is the location of choice in the North Shore of Sydney.

It is a place where Council helps the business community thrive through collaboration and involvement in driving a robust economy that meets the evolving needs of businesses and acts as the catalyst to bring all parties together to create a great outcome.

To achieve this, six strategic outcomes have been identified:

  • Facilitate the development of all businesses.
  • Build and support a night-time economy.
  • Create memorable food destinations.
  • Attract visitors and promote local, destination-based tourism.
  • Diversify our economy including creative and innovative industries.
  • Facilitate the viability and vibrancy of our village centres.

Throughout these six outcomes, the six key economic sectors of:

  • Information Media and Telecommunications,
  • Rental, Hiring and Real Estate Services,
  • Professional, Scientific and Technical Services,
  • Health Care and Social Assistance,
  • Financial and Insurance Services,
  • and the Retail Trade

will be the focus of activity to maintain and grow either output, employment, or the number of businesses in each sector.
