Business Advisory Service

The Business Advisory Service was established by the Wimmera Development Association to link major contractors working on the construction of the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline Project with local goods and services.

The initiative takes advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime project that will build security into the region, not only in terms of water supply, but to showcase the Wimmera as a place to invest.

The Service provides a central, commercial and proactive approach to business facilitation, exposing our region’s businesses to tender opportunities, and offering them a chance to develop the skills required for the pipeline’s construction. This can lead to more long-term work such as ongoing maintenance.

Supported by the Provincial Victoria Growth Fund as part of the State Government’s New Investment Partnership Program, the Business Advisory Service is the first of its kind in Victoria to leverage new investment from a major infrastructure project. The funding was allocated in response to the Wimmera Southern Mallee Drought Report 2007.
