The Regional Sustainable Development team works to develop a prosperous local economy and to strengthen the city’s business capabilities through engagement, investment and industry development projects.  

We facilitate growth through Council initiatives and through state and federal business development programs as well as partnership programs. 

We are involved in the business and development of our major facilities, the Bendigo Livestock Exchange and Bendigo Airport, the latter of which is partway through a significant redevelopment project.

The Business Help Desk can provide businesses with guidance and support (especially those in the early start-up phase) to increase their success rate. We also manage a prequalifying system for the tender and awarding of annual supply contracts.
