The SSHED is a not-for-profit business accelerator established by Sutherland Shire Council in 2003. The council developed and invested in the SSHED following extensive economic research and analysis. Council's Economic Development Committee (EDC) identified that the Shire needed new kinds of businesses. There are only a handful of large-scale employers - Caltex, Sutherland Hospital, Toyota, ANSTO, and council itself - with the vast majority of the remainder being small businesses, particularly in retail and manufacturing.

The SSHED is part of council's strategy to stimulate local economic growth and create employment opportunities.
