Greater Shepparton City Council is further supporting new and local businesses by making it easier to understand and navigate the Council permit processes with a dedicated Investment Facilitation Coordinator.
The Investment Facilitation Coordinator is available to guide and assist local businesses through the process of obtaining permits to help start or expand a business.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor Councillor Shane Sali said it was important the region continues to support the expansion of local businesses and streamline processes to attract new businesses to the region.
“We understand that navigating through the various Council departments can be challenging at times and businesses will often need one or more permits before opening their doors. We want to make the process as efficient as we can so our local operators and new businesses can start working as quickly as possible,” Cr Sali said.
“Local businesses are not in it alone and I encourage you, whether you’re starting out or looking to grow your business to reach out to Council and speak with our Investment Facilitation Coordinator.”
The Investment Facilitation Coordinator will sit down with operators one on one and assist with streamlining the application process. They will assist with understanding the requirements of different permits, submitting applications and provide advice for your business.
“Whether you’re a new business or a growing business, relocating or renovating, I’ll assist you to navigate your way across various Council departments and help streamline the overall process,” Greater Shepparton’s Investment Facilitation Coordinator Lisa Kubeil said.
“Council’s aim is to reduce the time it takes you to get the doors open, so you can get your business started, that’s where I come in, I will meet up with you, discuss your business goals and help you along your business journey.”
Council has also developed an online assessment form which asks customers what their plans are with the opening or expansion of their business. Once submitted, this information is received by the Investment Facilitation Coordinator who will make contact and provide support as quickly as possible to the customer. The online assessment form can be found on Council’s website
To speak with the Investment Facilitation Coordinator you may phone Council on 5832 9700 or email investment@shepparton.vic.gov.au
