Fremantle First- what’s in it for you?

[Fremantle First Logo] Fremantle First is an initiative run by the City of Fremantle for the business community to promote and market Fremantle to local and overseas visitors. The main aim is to create better business for all Fremantle businesses by attracting more businesses, visitors and events to the city. The initiative is funded by the City of Fremantle through revenues from differential business and residential rates. As Fremantle First primarily benefits businesses, all businesses are encouraged to contact the City of Fremantle with any related queries or concerns. The Economic Development & Marketing Business Unit of the City of Fremantle manages the initiative. Below are the team members who are on-hand to answer your queries and who are always keen to learn of new ideas on how to promote Fremantle.
