Auburn City Council

BUILDING ARABIC BUSINESSES PROJECT

Auburn City Council was invited to participate in the Building Arabic Businesses University of Western Sydney Urban Research Centre

project with the University of Western Sydney Centre for Urban Research to:

Explore distinct business practices evident amongst Arabic owner-operated businesses in the Auburn-Bankstown corridor
To discover to what extent and in what ways such business practices impede or enhance business growth
To suggest strategies to encourage employment generation amongst Arabic owner-operated businesses in the Auburn-Bankstown corridor

Prompts to undertake this project include the:

2005 Metropolitan Strategy, especially employment targets
High concentration of owner-managers that identify as being from NESB, particularly from Arab countries in Western Sydney.
Potential source of employment generation amongst the businesses, given the difficulty West Central faces in meeting its jobs targets

The location for study:

Preliminary findings include:

· The area (West-central subregion) is an easy place to set up and do business

· Lack of integration between similar organisations

Reference was made to the regulatory barriers and hurdles that SMEs face. e.g. pay-roll tax, ever changing rules and regulations
