Business council to build long-term vision

THE Business Council of Australia (BCA) will mark its 30th anniversary next year by developing a long-term vision for Australia.

BCA president Tony Shepherd has told the council's annual dinner in Sydney on Thursday such a vision needs to resonate with the broader community and the nine million Australians employed by companies and businesses.

"We want Australia to see that influential people ... share a vision and that we can work together to achieve it," Mr Shepherd said in his prepared address.

"We may have different ideas on the detail and that's healthy. But our members want this project to capture the priorities of all the groups in this room and all Australians."

He said business, government, opposition, the union movement and groups that represent the broader community should not be seen as combatants.

He said in the days of the Accord, which kicked off in 1983 under the Hawke government, different sectors were able to agree on a common purpose and a plan to foster productivity, competitiveness and growth.

"In fact, prime minister (Bob) Hawke encouraged the formation of the Business Council of Australia to deal with the matters arising from the Economic Summit and the Accord," Mr Shepherd said.

"There is no reason we cannot do this again."

He said in the past year, the BCA - representing the nation's top 100 chief executives - focused on productivity and competitiveness to lock in economic growth for the benefit of all Australians.

"We've looked at continued growth as the only way of keeping Australia ahead of the very real risks coming our way through global volatility and shifting economic sands," he said.

"We are not hypochondriacs at the BCA but we are strong believers that prevention is always better than a cure."
