March Newsletter
Adelaide CBD businesses – just like businesses throughout the nation – are feeling the impact of recent environmental factors, including bushfires, drought and the global impact of Coronavirus.
Council is working with our partners to give your business the tools to minimise impact and position yourself for the recovery. One of these opportunities is the Business Recovery Masterclass hosted by the Australian China Business Council's, China Business Ready Series. Local businesses can attend at a discounted price.
Further to this, the City of Adelaide is launching a new campaign, #MyAdelaide, to support local traders. The campaign is focused on boosting spending in the city and encouraging people to linger longer – whether that be shopping, dining, socialising or hotel stays - by encouraging visitors and workers to discover the best our city has to offer.
Council is considering more efficient and effective models to accelerate economic development in the city. RSVP to the information forum on the City Wide Business models, for your chance to have your say and ask any questions.
Read on to view the latest news and opportunities.

Adelaide Economic Development Agency, 'City Wide Business Models' - opportunity to have your say

Council is investigating a more efficient and effective model for City business initiatives, acknowledging in the future the City will operate in and the unique ways in which customers are engaging with business. This project has already engaged the Rundle Mall Management Authority, Adelaide Central Market Authority, the 7 City Precincts, State Government agencies, Property Council (SA) and CoA partners (Renew Adelaide, Adelaide Convention Bureau and Study Adelaide) to gain their feedback on the proposed direction and now its time to expand the engagement to a broader cross section of businesses based in the CBD and North Adelaide.
RSVP below for your chance to hear an update on the project and ask questions specific to this topic.
An agenda is currently being created and will be forwarded within the next 2 weeks that will outline areas such as governance, funding and key operational pillars.
This project was also added to the new Strategic Plan 2020 – 2024 “Implement a City Wide Business Model” in Strong Economies.
