The Business Support Survey is an annual initiative designed to gather insights from businesses across Greater Bendigo. By understanding the challenges and opportunities faced by local businesses, we can tailor our support to meet their needs effectively.

Local businesses are the backbone of our economy, and their success directly impacts the prosperity of our region. This survey helps us:

• Identify current challenges businesses are facing.
• Understand priorities and opportunities for growth.
• Shape programs, projects, and workshops that provide meaningful support.
• Advocate to other key organisations on behalf of businesses to address systemic issues.

The insights collected guide our planning for the next 12 months, ensuring our efforts are relevant and impactful to you.

Together, we can create a stronger, more vibrant business community, building a better future for local businesses!

The survey is open from Tuesday March 10, 2026 and closes on Thursday April 9, 2026 at 5pm.

The survey takes approximately 5 minutes to complete
