The programs
Business Support and Development
If you are considering a move to the Tweed, opening a new enterprise or expanding an existing business in our shire, please talk to us.
Tweed Shire Council’s Economic Development team can discuss the benefits of its Business Investment Policy and introduce you to local stakeholders and other contacts to assist you as you get established.
Tweed Shire Council also offers a popular Development Assessment Panel service (known as DAP), where prior to lodging an application, you can receive technical advice in relation to your proposal.
Our teams will walk you through Council’s development application and assessment processes to set up your enterprise and get you on the right track to a successful move to the Tweed.
NETWORKING & COLLABORATION
Business collaboration and networking is strong in the Tweed. Chambers of commerce, and tourism, agricultural and food industry groups provide regular platforms for connecting with other businesses and industry sectors. Council works closely with these groups and supports key activities through investment in marketing and by developing regional business development projects.
REGIONAL SUPPORT
We can put you in touch with a number of regional business support organisations including the NSW Business Chamber, Regional Development Australia and the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet.
