The Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman (ASBFEO) was established in 2016 to advocate for, and give assistance to, small business and family enterprises. This includes assistance with disputes.

The independent review considers whether the ASBFEO’s functions and operations are effective, and further feedback is being sought through a survey.

The survey will help the Independent Reviewer to ensure the ASBFEO is meeting the needs of the small business community.

Small businesses, family enterprises, the franchising sector and their representatives are invited to provide feedback through the survey. The survey closes on 31 March 2025.

It is time to review the current Community Strategic Plan 2022-2032 to see what has changed and to ensure the plan still reflects the desires of the community.

What is the Community Strategic Plan (CSP)?
The CSP is written on behalf of the community to represent their main priorities and aspirations for the future and to plan strategies for achieving these goals. The CSP guides all remaining strategies and plans written by Council including the Delivery Program, Operational Plan & Resourcing Strategy.

Why Council is seeking your input
Community input is vital to understand whether your aspirations for the future have changed and identify where Council should focus efforts to make Wentworth Shire a great place to live, work & play.
