ABOUT US
About the Business Improvement District (BID)
The Johnsonville Business Group (JBG) was established in the late 2020s. JBG is a group of passionate local business and property owners focused on developing and enhancing the success of Johnsonville for the benefit of the wider community.
By uniting the efforts of local businesses and coordinating local initiatives, the organisation can help ensure Johnsonville thrives.
The JBG BID is funded by way of a targeted rate. It is important to note that only buildings currently paying commercial rates within the areas pay the targeted BID rate.
This website provides a platform to keep you informed with regular updates on the progress of our Strategic Business Plan, which consists of the key initiatives being implemented by the Johnsonville Business Group Inc. This incorporated group was formed to manage the funds and activities for the BID initiatives.
