Breakfast and business briefing
THE results of the Warrnambool Business Confidence Survey were revealed at the Mayor’s Breakfast and City Briefing yesterday (Thursday).
“The breakfast is now an annual fixture on the business events calendar and along with the results of the survey, undertaken in partnership with Deakin University, we’ll include a retrospective of the year so far and have a look at how 2025 is likely to pan out,” council’s manager economic development Steve Hoy said late last week.
“From a business perspective, there have been challenges when it comes to labour and key worker housing shortages and the rising cost of living is also compelling people to carefully manage household budgets.
“However, we also know that Warrnambool’s business community has proven to be innovative and resilient and we’ll explore this through the business survey results.”
Another exciting aspect of this year’s event, according to Mr Hoy, is that it was held just a few days after the mayoral election, which saw Cr Ben Blain re-elected for another term.
The annual Mayor’s Business Breakfast and City Briefing was held in the Lighthouse Theatre foyer.
