Commercialisation, Income Generation and Trading
Exploring the opportunities for commercial enterprise within Local Government
Advisory Groups & Seminars
.jpg)
The Commercialisation, Income Generation and Trading Advisory Group was established in 2017 further to a growing need for insight and expert input on public policy impacting this area. A typical agenda includes case studies of successful income generation strategies and opportunities to explore the advantages and disadvantages of delivery models to support trading activity. All meetings are free to attend and there is no upper limit on how many staff and elected members may attend from each APSE member authority. The group also has the opportunity to gather within the context of Future Focus, the Southern Region's seminar exploring innovative commercial approaches to meet future funding needs.
