A stronger business voice for Benalla

Benalla Business Network (BBN) exists to build a stronger, better-connected business community. We bring local businesses, larger employers, council and key stakeholders together to share information, raise issues, create opportunities and support a more active business environment for Benalla.

Benalla's future depends on stronger alignment between local businesses, larger employers, council and the wider community. When businesses are connected, they are better placed to solve problems, create opportunities and support local economic activity.

BBN is for businesses and organisations that want to be better connected, better informed and more involved in Benalla's future
