2. Economic and Industry Development Activity Update
This is a report concerning the economic and industry development activities being undertaken by council’s Office of Economic Development (OED).
Local economic development is a priority for most city councils, yet the activities that drive such development are often difficult to report on in the course of normal council business. Further, executing economic development strategy is a long-game, largely consisting of stakeholder conversations, opportunity identification and matching and influencing policy and decisions of many parties; the tangible outputs not evident until a new building opens or there is a sustained shift in economic indicators.
This report outlines the role of a council in driving economic development outcomes, the functions of Ipswich City Council’s OED and highlights key activities underway.
