This week the chamber breakfast meet was held within the Coral Sea Marina complex, with amazing morning views over the marina precinct. A big thankyou to Coral Sea Marina for your ongoing support.
We had two guest organisations visit to meet our members and discuss opportunities. Maddy from Bowen River Utilities provided details on the Urannah dam project, this included the opportunities available for local businesses in the area, plus opportunities on how they can support local community organisations.
Our second guest was the team from IDCARE in Australia and New Zealand. They are a national identity and cyber support service, free to the small businesses and the larger community. Their service has helped thousands of Australian and New Zealand individuals and organisations reduce the harm they experience from the compromise and misuse of their identity information by providing effective response and mitigation.
Please reach out directly or through the chamber to either of these organisations should you see value.
In other news it is an exciting week for a number of our members with the return of cruise ships docking in the Whitsundays. This should have a very positive economic impact for those within the main street precinct and tourism operators, plus the flow onto local industry supporting these consumer facing businesses.
If you would like to connect with other business owners, please come to one of our bi monthly events. If you would like to inform the local business community about your business, please reach out. If you have a business matter that you need or want action on, please connect with us so we can advocate across our network.
From Allan Milostic, President of Whitsunday Coast Chamber of Commerce.
