Local Content Adviser Program
The State Government has launched a Local Content Program to maximise the participation of local business in regional supply or works contracting opportunities.
Recognising that it can often be challenging for businesses to access and engage as a supplier, Local Content Advisers take a lead role in promoting supply opportunities and facilitating regional business capability and growth.
At a regional level, Local Content Advisers work with a range of stakeholders including government, industry groups and local businesses to tailor activities to respond to the unique requirements of their communities.
Your Local Content Adviser aims to:
- Connect local businesses to supply opportunities in the region
- Enable regional business to be competitive in regional procurement processes
- Inform the design of government procurement activities to maximise local business participation.
