Initial development ....
The idea for
this site was born out of the frustration of trying to understand what
business and community facilities were available in Echuca Moam, and local
region.
The initial
motivation for this site is still valid ........ this
site endeavours to provide a comprehensive listing of all Echuca Moama
and surrounding region enterprises and facilities for the benefit of the
local community, visitors to our region, and the World.
The ' value ' this site provides in attracting and retaining revenues to the Echuca Moama area depends upon regular contributions in terms of usage and promotion by local business entities, public services entities, community groups, and the Echuca Moama community. Echucaweb.com.au's selfish purpose is to create local community communication, belonging, local knowledge, local shopping behaviours, growth, wealth, and sustainability for all Echuca Moama entities for the long-term.
This is not rocket science ... statistically, money spent with local business entities, public services entities, and community groups will return approximately 4.5 times to the local Echuca Moama community. Shopping locally supports local sustainability and economic development. Shopping out of town 'white-ants' this opportunity.
Vision
Echucaweb.com.au
is the community and business directory for the river border City of Echuca,
Victoria, and the rapidly growing Town of Moama, New South Wales,
and the surrounding region in Australia.
The site is
growing in terms of Community and Business enterprise listings, and complements
other existing sites that promote the Echuca Moama and its region.
This site also contains enterprise contact details not listed in phone
books or media other listings.

Where to from here?....
The intention is that Echucaweb.com.au will remain the key directory for Echuca Moama, and to complement this in the future; a portal site will offer cheap low cost internet-based advertising opportunities for local Enterprises. Through Echucaweb.com and Echucaweb.com.au a virtual vibrant community and business entity will be created.
