Sutherland Shire Council helps provide an environment that stimulates and supports sustainable economic growth and resilience for local business.
Sutherland Shire Local Chambers of Commerce
The Sutherland Shire Business Chamber (SSBC) brings together members of local business chambers throughout the entire Sutherland Shire area.
The SSBC was established by executives of each of the local business chambers:
Membership of any local business chamber within the Sutherland Shire area provides automatic membership of the SSBC.
Council's Economic & Community Development Unit provides support and meets regularly with the SSBC.
If you are looking to join forces with new business partners, build relationships with other local businesses and have community representation on local issues, become a Chamber of Commerce member.
