Economic well-being considers whether our economy can generate the employment and wealth necessary to provide many of the requirements that make for social well-being, such as health, financial security, and equity of opportunity.
It includes topics such as:
- Job opportunities
- Support for unemployed and low-income earners
- Being a business-friendly district
- Environmentally sustainable economic growth
- Affordable living and cost of living
- Paying a living wage
- Equal job opportunities, for example not disadvantaged by race or gender
- Community infrastructure including transportation network, electricity, internet, drinking water, wastewater and stormwater network
Examples of what we do in these areas:
- Hosting community events such as Glow in the Park
- Supporting youth employment through Mayor’s Taskforce for Jobs
- Stormwater system protects communities and property from ongoing economic damage
