Business Retention and Expansion Survey

Inverell Shire Council has developed the 2026 Business Retention and Expansion Survey. The economic and social wellbeing of our community is closely linked to the strength and continued growth of local businesses. By understanding the current business environment, Council will be better placed to plan for the future and support initiatives that deliver positive outcomes for both businesses and the wider community.

The survey has been designed to achieve the following objectives:

• Develop a current and accurate profile of the local economy.
• Identify the needs, concerns, challenges and opportunities facing local businesses, as well as their views on the local business environment.
• Gain insight into businesses’ future plans so Council can help address challenges and support new opportunities where possible.

The success of this project relies on strong participation from local businesses. All business owners or managers within the Inverell Shire LGA are being asked to participate.

Following analysis of the data, Council will prepare a report outlining the overall findings and recommendations from the survey. Any personal information provided will remain commercial in confidence and will not be included in the report.

Please complete the survey by visiting the following link.

The survey will close on Friday 19th June 2026.
