In
late 1997 a group of business owners joined
together to fight against a road closure
in their industrial area. Following their
successful lobbying, they decided to form
a permanent lobby group and in February,
1998, Murraylands Enterprise Estate became
an incorporated body. The Estate industrial
area is located within Adelaide Road, Maurice
Road, Netley Road and Thomas Street in Murray
Bridge and offers a diverse range of retail,
service and manufacturing industries.
Aims
of the Estate are to lobby, seek infrastructure
improvements for the area as well as identifying
key areas of concern amongst these businesses,
develop a business plan, market and promote
the group.
The
Estate is recognised for its unique form
of collaboration, values and principles
by which they operate and in 2003 were awarded
the regional SA Great Riverland/Murraylands
Business award. This partnership of businesses
successfully working together has enabled
the recent implementation of the work experience,
skill development and training pilot program
"Steps to $uccess". In November,
2005 "Steps to $uccess" was awarded
the Regional SA Great Riverland/Murraylands
Innovation award.
