Dear Trader, Businesses are experiencing unprecedented change following recent Federal and State Government announcements to slow the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). This is resulting in the closure of some businesses, restrictions to the way others operate, and in many cases reducing patronage and turnover. Council knows this is an extremely tough time for business and their staff and the St Albans Town Centre Manager will be proactively contacting business operators in the St Albans Town Centres to ensure you have access to the range of government information, support and assistance currently available. Information about Business Support and Assistance is also available at the link below, which has been prepared and distributed by Council’s Economic Development Unit. https://www.brimbank.vic.gov.au/business-and-tourism/business-support-and-assistance. This includes an online Business Impact Survey to help Council understand the impact of Coronavirus on local business at the link below. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/COVID-19-Business-Impact-Survey Council will use the survey results to inform government about short and long-term recovery priorities for business. Contact Cinzia Crea, St Albans Town Centre Manager to discuss this e-bulletin further on 9249 4000 STATown@brimbank.vic.gov.au. |
