Tradies business support online forum 

In response to significant calls from local tradies following the announcement to pause construction activity, Northern Beaches Council's Mayor hosted a Support for Tradies Forum on 21 July 2021. 

Attended by over 130 local tradies, this forum provided an opportunity to address concerns and questions from representatives of NSW Treasury and Service NSW. Member for Pittwater and Minister for Planning and Public Places, Rob Stokes also attended the forum and subsequently relayed the issues raised to the NSW Treasurer. 

Watch the recording to hear about what grants and support are available to tradies, clarification on restrictions and what might be the next steps to getting the construction sector to reopen after 31 July 2021.
