AABC president Hassan Moussa said the deal would benefit many members, particularly those looking to expand their operations.
“We share a similar vision to the one adopted by Bankstown Council for a successful, vibrant and resilient local business community, achieving this vision through consulting, co-operating and collaborating with key stakeholders,”
Mr Moussa said council had previously set up similar partnerships with community organisations and businesses such as the University of Western Sydney, TAFE South Western Sydney Institute and the NSW Business Chamber.
Bankstown Mayor Linda Downey said it would strengthen ties between the council and Arabic businesses.
“Our award-winning Bankstown Business Advisory Service has been recognised for its excellence and commitment to helping our local business community, including many Arabic businesses that are already BBAS members,” Cr Downey said.
“Under this new [partnership], members of the AABC will be able to participate in BBAS networking and industry events, learn more about the services that are available to them and participate in a number of workshops that benefit their businesses.”
