October Business News

Welcome to the October edition of Lismore Business News

October is shaping up to be an exciting and important month for our business community. We’re celebrating Small Business Month with practical workshops to help local businesses and non-profits prepare for future challenges, while also looking ahead to the return of one of Lismore’s most-loved community events - NORCO Presents Eat the Street.

In this edition, you’ll also find positive updates on our growing visitor economy, national marketing campaigns showcasing Lismore to travellers, and plenty of opportunities to get involved in events and programs that strengthen skills, resilience and connections. From the Rural Women’s Gathering to the Lismore Cycling Festival, there’s so much happening across our region.

We’ve also included a wide range of support services and grant opportunities to help your business plan, grow and thrive. Whether you’re looking to boost your digital skills, explore funding options, or access tailored one-on-one advice, there are resources here to support every stage of your business journey.

I encourage you to make the most of these opportunities, connect with the programs on offer, and continue to build on the momentum we’re seeing across our local economy.

Warm regards,

Tina Irish
