Consultation has concluded

Alexandrina's draft Economic Development Strategy 2022–27: 

"Regenerating Alexandrina’s Economy"

Consultation is closed

Community input has been key to developing the draft Economic Development Strategy (EDS) Now we are seeking your feedback again.

When we first asked the Alexandrina community how it would like to grow, we heard a clear desire for healthy and sustainable growth, balancing the need for progress with deep respect for heritage and the environment.

In response we have developed a draft Strategy following a philosophy of ‘regenerative’ economic development. Council will be building a resilient economy which purposefully sustains our people, environment, culture, and history.

The draft EDS will come to life over four key action areas:

  • Leadership and advocacy: Council will advocate for key economic infrastructure to support local businesses and tourism.
  • Investment attraction: Council will spread the word about our amazing Alexandrina, to attract new investors, businesses, residents and visitors.
  • Town building: Council will enhance the unique history and character of each township to help to attract new residents and growth.
  • Business and industry development: Council will build on the strengths of our major industries – including agriculture, tourism and healthcare – to create jobs.

We welcome your ideas and feedback below.
