Our Community Strategic Plan has four major goals - Being Healthy, Being Wealthy, Being Safe and Being Connected - that form a platform for Council and the Community's shared vision for the Macleay Valley. In line with this, Council is constantly looking for ways to support local businesses and the community to build on these goals and support and develop opportunities within our shire.

An indicator of how the Macleay is growing in wealth is the annual business awards event hosted by Macleay Valley Business Chamber.
This event was held recently at South West Rocks where I had the honour of once again toasting the Macleay Valley. It was inspiring to see many familiar faces, but also the considerable amount of new businesses that attended this year.
It was an exciting night of celebrating the achievements of local businesses and I'm particularly proud of our council being awarded the Employer of Choice award and Excellence in Professional Services award! These awards demonstrate the positive culture being built within the workplace and the exemplary way Council staff deliver services to the Macleay Valley community.
This public recognition is a testament to the professionalism and commitment of the dedicated management and staff who work at Council.
It is certainly rewarding to see that the Council's Vision statement, "Lead and work with our community to build an inspired, connected Macleay Valley", is being delivered and management and staff are being acknowledged for their commitment to this vision.
The awards night was a fitting tribute to all the hard work, commitment and energy that goes into building and growing a successful business.
Our business community's collective contribution proves we're on the right road to building a stronger economy.
A special thank you to the Macleay Valley Business Chamber who delivered a first-class gala event at the South West Rocks Country Club auditorium. Thank you also to the business sponsors.
