WE strongly believe in the message that Grow magazine demonstrates through its unique partnership, with the Casey Cardinia Region and Star News, and ambitious goal to be the preferred source of business news for the region.
We were overjoyed to hear that the first edition was so well received by readers and local supporting businesses.
It’s because of people like you who take a keen interest in the future of our region’s economy that this publication will continue to thrive – so thankyou!
This second edition includes a feature on the region’s strongest performing sector, manufacturing. As it continues to provide critical outcomes for the region in relation to its high-performing exports, employment levels and ability to add value, some of the region’s most notable manufacturing business weigh-in on the debate about its longevity.
In addition, it also navigates the process to receive a planning permit (which is required for actions such as subdividing, erecting advertising signs, changes to car parking or new developments) with an easy-to-read diagram to ensure you’ve ticked all the right boxes before applying.
You can also follow the story of two local people with a disability who have become real assets to their respective employing businesses and are working hard to break down negative stereotypes. It’s a pleasure to feature such inspiration in Grow!
We hope that you can take some of the inspiration, advice and local knowledge within its pages to further grow your business.
