The City of Swan has joined the Small Business Friendly Local Government Initiative. We recognise and value the significant benefits small businesses bring to the community, including employment opportunities, providing goods and services and helping the local and regional economy to achieve growth and prosperity.
The City has joined the Small Business Friendly Local Government Charter to demonstrate our commitment and highlight some of the actions we undertake to be small business friendly.
Participating in this initiative helps us to ensure we are continually improving our interaction with, and support of, local small businesses across our region.
