Backing the businesses that build our future
Published on 12 February 2026
Small businesses are the backbone of our community, driving local jobs, services, and innovation. Among the 18,000 businesses that support more than 69,000 local jobs, small businesses make up 90% of the mix, a reflection of our City’s entrepreneurial spirit.
That’s why Council is committed to ensuring these businesses have the support they need to grow and succeed.
