Highlands Hub - Where We Connect

$200,000,000 per year is the figure that we leak out of our local economy every year. If we can regain 20% of that we would see (with a multiplier effect added)an additional $56 million circulating in our community each year.

For Our Community, By Our Community

We've partnered with Localised to fund and facilitate a community platform to promote and support business  activity across our local government area.  This means it's FREE for your business for the next 3 years and beyond (with continued Council endorsement).

For the Business module our ultimate goal is to retain more business-to-business dollars multiplying within our local economy. As mentioned above, we currently leak up to $200,000,000 each year from our local economy. Retaining some of that means more revenue for business, more employment opportunities, more population retention and growth and our ability to maintain and improve our local services like schools, doctors and other health services.

For the upcoming Employment and Community modules our ultimate aim is to provide a dedicated platform  for our local employment sector and our local community to engage, network and  drive positive social cohesion, communication and outcomes.

Why We Need Your Business to Join

Our local economy depends on local small business growth, agricultural diversification and increasingly leveraging the visitor economy.  Whilst our industry sectors economic value-add is dominated by Agriculture, it’s the small businesses that have the potential to convert the supply-chain needs and drive stability in our local economy.

Creating one-place where businesses can connect, promote their business, contribute to local business discussion and communicate local business supply and project needs aims to achieve this.

We launched the Business platform on Monday 20th April, and it will take time for businesses to sign up, engage with and benefit from it - for the platform to ‘do its job’. 

But we must start somewhere! We need take some leaps of faith for the future of our town and our children!

So we're asking for your help – if we take the opportunity now to retain some of this local leakage our local economy will benefit into the future against some challenging predictions.
