Businesses from across the region are invited to take part in the City of Greater Bendigo’s 2026 Business Support Survey.
The survey is open to all types of businesses and includes questions about business operations, skills and training, marketing and promotion, and industry development within the business community.
The survey aims to:
- Identify current challenges businesses are facing
- Understand priorities and opportunities for growth
- Shape programs, projects, and workshops that provide meaningful support
- Advocate to other key organisations on behalf of businesses to address systemic issues
Manager Economy & Experience James Myatt said the annual survey provides essential insights on the top priorities for businesses in the region.
“The annual survey will help gauge business confidence in our community and allows business owners to provide invaluable feedback that influences the growth of our economy,” Mr Myatt said.
“Your feedback ensures the programs, workshops, and advocacy we deliver are impactful and relevant to supporting local businesses to thrive.
“The City is encouraging business operators, no matter how big or small, to complete the five-minute survey.
“Tell us about your business challenges, needs, and priorities over the next 12 months and help build a stronger business community.
“Your feedback will also help identify barriers and opportunities for local businesses throughout the region.
“This will guide how the City can provide more ways to support local businesses so they can continue to develop and thrive in our community.”
