Economic Development Strategy

The City of Belmont is currently in the process of developing an Economic Development Strategy (EDS).

An EDS is a document which guides programs, policies and activities undertaken by the City with the goal of improving economic wellbeing and quality of life for the business and local community.

In the development of our EDS, the City will consider how we can best support new, existing and emerging businesses, create local jobs and increase economic output.

Using an evidence-based approach, the completed EDS will be used to inform planning, investment, and resource allocation with the aim of continuing the City’s attractiveness as a place to live, work and do business.

Development Process

To develop a robust strategy that reflects the needs of the business community, the City has conduct a range of consultations including surveying and community workshops. Once developed, the Draft Economic Development Strategy will be made available for public comment. The finalised document will incorporate this feedback and then be provided to Council for consideration.

To keep up-to-date with the progress of the Strategy, sign up for the City's Business e-newsletter.
