Current Planning for National

Employment Clusters.

Vast majority of jobs are in the suburbs

» Improving “business amenity” is key to increasing the attractiveness of the suburbs for workers.

What do we mean by “business amenity”?

• Easy to get to - easy to get around.• Business support services.• Attractive to employees.• Decent places to eat, have a coffee and

shop.• Overnight accommodation options.• Childcare options.• Places to recreate and relax outdoors.
