Have your say on the Draft Economic Development Strategy before Friday 18 August by clicking on the take survey button below.

We are creating an Economic Development Strategy (the Strategy). The Strategy will deliver a four-year plan with a focus on reinvigorating and supporting existing businesses and developing opportunities to attract new industries and investments.

Through research, targeted engagement and interviews we've developed background reports to support the Strategy. These include an Economic Development Profile Report, SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis and Needs Analysis.

The Manningham Economic Development Strategy is built around six key themes:

  1. Local businesses and their networks: Fostering local enterprise and building business networks to support economic growth and development.
  2. Accessible vibrant places: Creating vibrant and high-quality centres that support local businesses and attract visitors.
  3. Landscapes and lifestyle: Promoting the sustainable use of green spaces and preserving Manningham's environmental assets while enhancing residents' lifestyles.
  4. Room for growth: Providing suitable commercial and industrial land for industry growth and expansion.
  5. An economy for climate change: Embracing de-carbonisation and circular economy trends to adapt to climate change and foster sustainable industry development.
  6. Inclusive economy: Creating an economy that offers pathways into employment and promotes equity, diversity, and community engagement.
