Gunnedah Business Partner Program round three successful applicants announced

Once again the Business Partner Program has helped start-ups get on their feet and helped expand already existing businesses.

Ten local businesses and organisations will get a helping hand in the latest round of the program.

The council has allocated $27,905.87 for projects as diverse as a mobile therapy service to a new electrical business start-up.

Business Partner Program advisory group chair Cr Ann Luke said the successful program had helped many Gunnedah shire businesses and organisations to launch new initiatives or expand existing businesses.

"The Business Partner Program is part of Gunnedah Shire Council's commitment to providing a strong business environment and a growing economy," Cr Luke said.

"It encourages business expansion and assists new initiatives, and it has been very effective in everything from helping businesses build an online presence, to enhancing our main street.

"In this latest round, it was again great to see a few new businesses apply, alongside existing businesses who are already part of the Gunnedah community. We look forward to seeing these exciting projects come to life."

This is the third and final round of the significantly-boosted budget for the Business Partner Program as a COVID-19 recovery measure as part of the Invigorate Gunnedah Program.

This program has proven to make a real difference in assisting the shire's business and organisations to remain resilient and keep the economy buzzing.
