Local Jobs & Economy
A diverse, healthy local economy means that people get the opportunities they need to live full and meaningful lives. It also contributes to community harmony and less social dislocation.
We should put more resources into economic development. All government levels, along with businesses and the community, can play a role.
Quality Local Jobs
- Attract good quality enterprise-level companies and organisations to establish local branches in Wyndham.
- Help Wyndham become more attractive for new business, start-ups and small businesses.
- Make sure the employment advantages of the East Werribee Employment Precinct are realised soon.
