Chamber Chat

And suddenly, we have a new government. And suddenly we have a new local member. And suddenly its end of financial year. Blink and you can miss a lot – not to mention a new LNP leader and soon we will be discussing a new Whitsunday mayor.

Congratulations Andrew Willcox on your election win. Although on the opposition, we couldn’t ask for a more passionate, engaged and experienced representation at the Federal level. A representative who has dealt with local social issues for years in council, understands local business concerns, talks to pragmatic, sensible solutions and is absolutely constant and vocal advocate for the Whitsundays.

End of financial year is literally just around the corner and whilst we are all flat out coping with the day to day challenges of business, it would pay to take the opportunity to do some financial planning for 2023. There will be more challenges in supply chain issues, staffing concerns and rising cost of living which will need to be incorporated into pricing structures of every business.

Our June networking event will be the first in the format of "Coffee and Chat". June's C&C will have IDCARE in attendance - a national non-for- profit organisation that supports individuals and organisations who have concerns about cyber security or have been a victim of identity theft or a cybercrime.

This is the only service of its kind in the world and they will be bringing three info hubs with them for attendees to learn more about rending scams and online resilience. In addition to IDCARE, Bowen River Utilities will also be attending to speak about their current projects, in particular the Urannah Water Scheme

See you Monday June 13th, 7am at Coral Sea Marina (Meeting Point D) at the entrance to the lawn area
