The Town of Gawler, in partnership with Regional Development Australia - Barossa Gawler Light Adelaide Plains (RDA BGLAP), is expanding support for local businesses through a strengthened coaching and advisory program designed to build capability, resilience and sustainable growth.

Eligible businesses will receive up to13 hours of tailored coaching across three months, combining an initial 3–6 hours funded by RDA BGLAP with an additional up to seven hours subsidised by the Town of Gawler.

Support provided can cover financial management, strategic planning, marketing and digital capability, workforce support, operational efficiency, and other specialist advisory needs.

This initiative gives businesses the tools, confidence, and expert guidance they need to grow, innovate, and strengthen Gawler’s local economy. Coaching is delivered by experienced mentors from Gawler and the surrounding region, with support available face‑to‑face, online or through a hybrid approach. This ensures Council continues to invest in local expertise while keeping economic value within our region.
