Burdekin Economic Development Strategy 2020-2025

Burdekin Shire Council

 

Commissioned by Burdekin Shire Council, SC Lennon & Associates prepared the Burdekin Economic Development Strategy 2020-2025. The strategy provides Burdekin Shire Council with direction for economic development promotion and facilitation over the next five years.

 

The Burdekin Economic Development Strategy 2020-25 provides Burdekin Shire Council with a framework to support the vibrancy, diversity and sustainability of the Burdekin Shire Council area. Informed by a well-developed understanding of the Burdekin’s economic development structure, dynamics and potential, it delivers a five-year plan of action, which builds on and strengthens partnerships and alliances between Burdekin Shire Council, government, industry and the community. 

 

Regional in scope with a global frame of reference, the strategy articulates and promotes a partnership approach between Burdekin Shire Council and other stakeholders to promote the Burdekin as an attractive destination for people to live, work and play.

​

Opportunities for action have been identified and categorised under three strategic themes:

​

• A Smart and Innovative Agricultural District;

• A Location of Choice for Business Investment, Learning and Living; and

• A Dynamic Regional Visitor Economy.

​

​These are opportunities that Council and its partners can focus on to help activate and grow the Burdekin Shire economy.
