    What's On for 2010? 

    HomeBiz Speed Networking Night                                               

     

    THURSDAY 18th February 2010

    Back by popular demand - you asked for it so we're bringing it to you! Speed Networking!

    The Speed Networking night is a real opportunity to make some new connections that will help you build your business referral base.

    Speed Networking involves people meeting each other one at a time for a short interval and then moving on to the next person in line. It’s a fairly structured way to meet other business people and creates a different environment to the usual networking events.

    It’s a bit like speed dating with one key difference. The purpose of Speed Networking is not to eliminate potential business contacts. Rather it is to meet a wide variety of people, even those with whom you may think you have nothing in common with, and form a connection that may at some stage develop into a mutually beneficial business relationship.

    Public Workshop Wednesday 24th Feb

    Council’s Economic Development Strategy (EDS)

     

    Council is currently in the early stages of developing a new Economic Development Strategy (EDS) for the Shire of Nillumbik. The EDS will be the key Council strategic document for shaping the economic direction of the Shire from a local perspective during the term of the current Council.

    Having regard to Goal 3 of the current Council Plan 2009-13, Our Economy, Council has developed a draft Strategic Directions Paper on this matter that will be used as the basis for conducting a public workshop to be held at the

    Civic Centre, Civic Drive, Greensborough

    Wednesday 24 February 2010 at 6.30pm – 8.00pm

    Input from the workshop will be used to assist Council to develop a draft Economic Development Strategy (EDS) that will be made available for public consultation prior to Council formally adopting an EDS and Action Plan later in 2010.

    Business operators and members of the Nillumbik community are invited to participate in the forthcoming workshop and may register to attend by contacting Neville Slade, Manager, Major Projects and Business Services on 94333129 or by email to neville.slade@nillumbik.vic.gov.au.

    Copies of the draft Strategic Directions Paper and the Council Plan 2009 -13 can be obtained from Council’s website www.nillumbik.vic.gov.au or by calling the above number.
