We conduct a yearly survey to hear from local business owners and entrepreneurs.

The survey results help us to understand how confident our community are in the Port Macquarie Hastings as a place for business, innovation, industry, and growth.

  • Consider potential programs for business support.
  • Foster sustainable economic development.
