This business newsletter showcases Victorians who are investing in their own State and in their local region. These stories are about men and women who excel in business, create employment and often are internationally recognised.

It is important to recognise, acknowledge and support these unique Australian businesses which are all based on creativity, initiative and hard work.

Small and medium size businesses are where the greatest growth in employment is occurring and it is these companies which are creating the jobs.

To visit their premises creates pride and excitement at their achievements and is an important reminder that Victorian businesses, particularly in technology, are often at the international cutting edge.

The first newsletter circulated to over 2,000 businesses and industries, and due to the strong and positive interest, has grown to a mailing list of 6,000 businesses. The wider circulation will help to promote the benefits of doing business in Silvan.

Please let us know if you want additional copies to circulate.

Silvan, consisting of the electorates of Bayswater, Warrandyte, Mooroolbark and Monbulk, continues to be a great place to do business.
