Council's Economic Development Strategy (Strategy) highlights the advantages of doing or having a business in Georges River. Our centres are some of the most accessible in Sydney. Kogarah, for example, was recently ranked as the 16^th most accessible centre in Greater Sydney[1].
 
Home to world class health care facilities, a TAFE, many schools, a talented, skilled and culturally diverse workforce, Georges River presents opportunities for new and existing business growth and innovation.
 
The Strategy recognises that being competitive in a modern economy is about creating places that are attractive to live, work or invest in. 
 
The Strategy’s vision is to deliver responsive and progressive places for investment, working and lifestyle. To meet this vision, the Strategy:

• Sets out why and how to grow the local economy

• Outlines key characteristics, opportunities and challenges across the local government area, and for each key and emerging centre as part of growing the local economy

• Provides meaningful themes, goals and actions

• Supports employment and business growth, innovation and resilience.
