1. Introduction

On behalf of The Hills Shire Council we are embarking on a business climate survey to get a greater understanding of what's important to you in regards to your experiences, and importantly, how satisfied you are with all elements of operating a business in The Sydney Hills.

Why are we doing this? Quite simply, to build our understanding of the business climate for companies operating in the Sydney Hills and find out how the support Council provides to the business community can be even better.

The collective results of the survey will be shared with the business community; however your responses will never be reported individually.

By clicking on the link below you will be taken to the Sydney Hills Business Climate survey where you will be asked about your experience of operating a business in the area. The survey will take you approximately 5 minutes.

Council also facilitates a range of business education workshops each year for around 2000 participants and we would like your input on the type of courses you think would be useful for your business and staff.

Council’s economic development team is also interested in finding out how we can better support your business and we are available to meet with you. If you would like a confidential appointment please call us on +612 9762 1108.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey - you'll be playing an important role in helping us to make the business climate in the Sydney Hills even better! Compulsory questions are marked with an asterisk.

Yours sincerely
