Business Briefings

The City of Fremantle hosts regular Business Briefing sessions designed to connect local businesses directly with city representatives.

These sessions provide a valuable opportunity for business owners and operators to engage face-to-face with council staff, stay informed about upcoming projects and initiatives, and gain insights into developments that may impact their operations.

Attendees can learn about key city plans, programs, and opportunities, while also having the chance to ask questions, share feedback, and raise issues relevant to the local business community. These briefings foster open communication, strengthen relationships, and support a collaborative approach to growing Fremantle’s vibrant business sector.
