Thriving rural towns.
Booming Local Business.
That's our business.
Busy shop fronts.
Connected people.
Vibrant happenings.
It’s time for a new narrative. To ignite potential and light up the future.
We’re rural people working with communities for communities.
That’s how we roll at Rural Business & Community.
We know that local business creates community cohesion.
And a flourishing community generates local business.
Our job is to spark the embers; to invest in your ideas and ingenuity, and to join the dots. Let’s create good, sustainable futures. Ourselves. Together.
Rural Business & Community builds the relationships that make things happen.
Through projects, programs and possibilities.
It feels like the right time to renew life in the country.
Join us on the pathway to quality futures for all, through business and community.


Our Programs
Rural resilience & renewal
Rural people are a resilient bunch. Each generation has faced its own difficulties. Yet the past couple of years have been pretty rough. We know there are plenty of tests ahead of us in the years to come.
We also know that there’s a deep, untapped reserve of rural potential. Possibilities that just need the right resources, connections and conditions to incubate and flourish. The time is ripe for renewal.
At Rural Business & Community we want more for rural communities than to just survive in a changing world. We’re motivated by generating change from within; developing community aspirations and co-designing new ways of living and doing business.
Research. Innovation. Leadership. That’s what we offer; listening to and partnering with communities, like Sea Lake, when the town wanted to revitalise empty shop spaces.
