About Us 

Launched in 2024, Eastern Business Advisory is an initiative of the Eastern Region Alliance (ERA) Councils, delivered through their Economic Development portfolio. The ERA is a collaboration of Eastern metropolitan councils that voluntarily work together to strengthen their local communities and the broader Eastern region. Member councils include the Cities of Burnside, Campbelltown, Norwood Payneham & St Peters, Prospect, Unley, and the Town of Walkerville.

​

Supporting local businesses is a shared strategic priority across all ERA Councils. In response, the Eastern Business Advisory program was developed to provide eligible small businesses with access to expert, one-on-one advice across a range of business development areas.

​

Whether you're looking to grow, solve a challenge, or simply gain a fresh perspective, our experienced Business Advisors are here to help guide your decision-making.

​

Eligible small businesses located within the ERA Council region can access up to three free one-hour advisory sessions per financial year.

​

If your business is based in one of the ERA Council areas, you're invited to register your interest in the program today.

Before getting started, please ensure you’ve read and understood the Terms and Conditions.
