Helping Local Businesses Navigate an Uncertain Outlook
Local businesses gathered at the City of Greater Dandenong Civic Centre for a free economic update, delivered in partnership with ANZ, to help business owners better understand the trends and challenges shaping the year ahead.
With cost pressures, skills shortages and economic uncertainty continuing to affect many businesses, the event formed part of Council's commitment to supporting the local business community with practical information, resources and opportunities to learn and connect.
The session brought together manufacturers and professionals from diverse industries across Greater Dandenong to explore key economic trends and discuss the factors influencing business confidence, investment and growth.
Through initiatives such as the South East Business Networks (SEBN) program, Council continues to support local businesses by creating opportunities to share knowledge and access valuable industry insights.
By helping businesses stay informed and connected, Council aims to support local business growth and resilience in an evolving economic environment.
