Economy

We share in our city's economy

A strong economy, business and innovation sector creates opportunities for all Canberrans to share in the wealth of our city.

Wellbeing Indicators

Our wellbeing indicators are designed to complement, not replace, conventional measures of progress. Economic performance is a key driver of activity in our city and impacts our ability to meet the basics of life and shape positive wellbeing.

The Economy domain looks at things like employment, income equality, business performance and economic diversity in measuring wellbeing.

Strong economic performance is about a dynamic economy that is growing consistently and sustainably to support job creation and improve living standards for all Canberrans.

Changes in economic performance, employment, company formation and income levels impact on wellbeing across other domains, particularly for Living standards, Health, and Education.
