Council is creating a new Economic Development and Tourism Strategy 2035 (ED&TS) that will help establish priorities and create a plan to grow the Shoalhaven economy.
The strategy identifies key opportunities, objectives, and actions focused on revitalising the CBD, diversifying retail offerings, boosting employment and workforce participation, enhancing tourism infrastructure, and increasing visitor numbers and spending.
The ten-year strategic document will replace Council’s existing, Economic Development Strategy 2017 – 2026 and Destination Management Plan 2018 – 2023, which are both due for renewal.
The community will be invited to review the existing documents and provide feedback that will help inform the new strategy.
The new ED&TS 2035 will support other key Council plans including the Community Strategic Plan 2032 and will provide direction for Council’s annual Delivery Program Operational Plan (DPOP), Budget, and the setting of any fees and charges.
