Small Business Friendly Local Governments
The Small Business Friendly Local Governments initiative was developed by the Small Business Development Corporation (SBDC) . The SBDC is the only State Government agency focussed on supporting small business in Western Australia.
The Shire of Mt Marshall understands the importance of small businesses in our communities and is committed in supporting them. The Shire signed up to the Small Business Friendly Local Governments Initiative in February 2019. The charter can be viewed here. In addition to signing the charter, the Shire is required to commit to three additional activities. After consultation with the small business community, it was decided that the Shire would commit to the following additional activities;
- Town beautification: Working towards improving the appearance of our two towns, primarily on main street beautification
- Promote and inspire local businesses to apply for economic development grant funding, to benefit both their business and the community
- Continue marketing to improve our tourism and area promotion
