Rural Hinterland businesses are a key part of Surf Coast Shire Council's community and economy. The amenity of the natural environment coupled with the diverse land and business activities place an increasing focus on the Hinterlands role now and into the future.
Council wishes to develop a Rural Hinterland Strategy to guide key actions. The development of a database and Hinterland profile will provide an important step in informing the Hinterland Strategy.
In addition, Council wants to further understand the activities taking place in the Rural Hinterland, so we can support landowners by:
- enhancing our support to all rural businesses
- developing meaningful projects to market and promote
- showcasing the innovation taking place, and
- connecting with landowners and businesses to seek input into strategy and project development
The information you provide will assist Council to build a better understanding of what land owners in our Rural Hinterland are doing so we can further connect with and support you.
