Our mission is to create a strong and prosperous local economy

Hawkesbury Business Group Inc (HBG) is a local, non-partisan organisation dedicated to supporting the economic and business growth of the Hawkesbury region. Our mission is to create a strong and prosperous local economy by advocating for better planning processes, infrastructure improvements, and the release of commercial and residential land. We believe that efficient local governance and well-planned development are key to unlocking the full potential of this wonderful region we call home.

High-level Goals

• Advocate for business-friendly policies – we work to ensure that local businesses have a voice in important decisions affecting the Hawkesbury region, particularly in the areas of planning and infrastructure development.
• Foster economic growth – we are committed to creating an environment where businesses can thrive and attract new investment to the Hawkesbury. We support the expansion of both commercial and residential activities in the region.
• Collaborate with the community – we bring together business owners, local government representatives, and community members to find solutions to the challenges facing our area, while always working in the best interests of the broader community.
• Create efficient development and planning – we aim to streamline local planning processes, particularly those concerning development application approvals, which we believe will help unlock growth for businesses and residents alike.

Politically Agnostic Approach

The Hawkesbury Business Group operates as a politically agnostic entity. We are not aligned with any political party or candidate and instead focus solely on issues that affect the local business community and the overall development of the region. Our advocacy is driven by the interests of the businesses we represent, regardless of political ideology. We aim to work constructively with all elected officials and government bodies, regardless of their party affiliations, to achieve meaningful outcomes for the Hawkesbury region.

Funding and Support

Our activities, including any political or issue-based advertising, are fully funded by the businesses and professionals who make up our membership. We maintain complete transparency in our operations and ensure that all funding is used to further our association’s goals, improve the local economy and support Hawkesbury’s growth.
