Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing MP today launched the Business Support Service, brought to life by the Labor Government through the Latrobe Valley Authority’s $50 million Economic Growth Zone.

The Business Support Service is a new pilot program, which will see a team of local Concierges based at the Latrobe Valley Authority, Latrobe City, Wellington and Baw Baw Shire Council offices.

The expert team of concierges are available to help local businesses navigate the services on offer and follow up to ensure they are getting what they need.

• Rural Financial Counselling Service
• Kinaway Chamber of Commerce
• GippsTech
