Over the last two years we've been chatting with business, community, schools, and other stakeholders on Maitland's economic future. We've held over 75 consultation opportunities through local pop-up events, industry workshops, business and stakeholder meetings, and events to capture the aspirations of our community.

Based on this input and combined with research and local data, we've developed Maitland's draft Economic Development Strategy.

The draft Strategy offers a roadmap to improve community wellbeing, preserve and enhance green spaces, and create a vibrant, self-sustaining economy for generations to come.

With a 10-year strategic outlook, the draft Strategy seeks to address the challenges Maitland faces by focusing on four priority areas: people, place, prosperity and partnerships.

Thank you to everyone who has taken part and helped shape this important document.

Public exhibition of the draft EDS has now closed and we thank you for providing your input. All feedback will be considered and will help inform the final document.
