Local businesses are being asked to complete a five minute online survey and share their experiences.

The City of Victor Harbor wants business input to help the Council and Business Victor Harbor to tailor services and programs that support the local economy.

Their annual business survey aims to provide greater insight into the challenges and opportunities that exist for businesses.

The results from the survey will also be used to advocate for the Fleurieu Peninsula when liaising with government and non-government organisations to further local interests.

The survey was first held in 2016, with results reviewed and analysed each year to understand changing trends in the local business environment.

A standard set of questions are asked as well as a series of topical questions. This year the survey includes some questions about the circular economy.

It can be completed anonymously with no requirement for businesses to identify themselves.

To encourage local business leaders to participate, Business Victor Harbor will provide a local gift hamper to the value of $400 as a random prize for one lucky business that completes the survey.

Full details of previous survey results and a link to complete this year’s survey can be found on the City of Victor Harbor website.

Surveys must be completed prior to close of business on Monday 19 December.
