This event encouraged owners and their workers to not only connect with Council, but network with fellow local businesses in a relaxed after-hours event. With live entertainment, and plenty of drinks and nibblies, good memories were made in celebration of Small Business Month November 2023. A Disaster Preparedness Workshop took place on Wednesday 23 November with local businesses taking away practical information and resources to implement before, during and after a disaster strikes. A disaster can impact any business, no matter if it's a fire or global pandemic, a business contingency plan will make the recovery process less chaotic. This workshop was delivered in partnership with key agencies: Australian Red Cross, the NSW State Emergency Service (SES), Resilience NSW, Service NSW for Business, and the South Westen Sydney Local Health District. Participating agencies Local arts practitioners and creative businesses took part in a social media workshop on Thursday 17 November to help build a marketing strategy to grow and promote their business and products.
