Council Teams With Yarpa to Boost Aboriginal Procurement
Council has been chosen to partner with Yarpa to pilot the Deliver Better Outcomes Project in the Campbelltown LGA.
This project aims to increase the number of Aboriginal businesses providing goods and services to Local Government.
With over 7,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people residing in our LGA, the Deliver Better Outcomes project will be crucial in supporting Aboriginal businesses to access business opportunities locally.
Councils provide significant opportunities for businesses, and this project will connect Aboriginal businesses with diverse procurement opportunities, ensuring a great outcome for the Campbelltown community, while contributing to growing our local economy.
This project will guide equitable access to local economic opportunities that will support and foster sustainable growth opportunities for local Aboriginal businesses.
Our focus, throughout this program, will be to ensure support and development opportunities in the form of training and education that will help foster growth and opportunities for Aboriginal businesses right here in Campbelltown.
“We’re proud to have been chosen by Yarpa to be their partner in the delivery of such an important initiative. The Deliver Better Outcomes program aligns with our commitment to support our Aboriginal community through actions that open doors of opportunity and address the challenges and inequality they experience,” Mayor Cr Darcy Lound said.
