Supporting our local businesses

The Fairfield City Council place management philosophy is to support, engage and encourage the businesses of Fairfield City.

Promoting the growth and development of our businesses is a key priority to the future of Fairfield City.

Council continues to support business through public domain improvements, including road infrastructure, lighting, footpath and street furniture upgrades.

In addition to the physical appearance of our town centres, Council also offers a broad range of business services and advice to new, existing and potential businesses within the City.

Some of these services include consultation forums, business breakfasts and training.

Fairfield City Council has introduced the 'Make Council Your Business' program to raise awareness of Council's procurement procedures and to encourage local businesses to get involved. Last year, Council spent about $7.2 million with businesses in Fairfield City.

Council invests a great deal of time and resources to ensure our town centres are clean and attractive and continue to attract new visitors.

In addition, Council encourages people to shop locally and contribute to the growing economy of our City. The new City Connect bus has achieved these goals by giving residents greater accessibility to our town centres.

Council continues to organise and coordinate a number of major festivals throughout the year. There are more than five major festivals run by Council annually, which attract thousands of new visitors to our town centres. These events illustrate new growth for the City and
new opportunities for businesses.
