With SE Queensland facing an unprecedented and ongoing severe weather onslaught, our thoughts are with those who have literally lost everything. It is hard to imagine more complete devastation than the extreme floods faced by thousands of families and just as many small businesses. At a time when we were all hoping to settle into a new normality and get on with things, many now face yet another massive hurdle to overcome.

It is a timely reminder that businesses in the Whitsundays are still in cyclone season and vulnerable should the worst happen. Now is a great time to review your disaster management plan. Sandra Black, Whitsunday Regional Council's Disaster Management Coordinator presented strategies to mitigate loss during disasters at the Chamber's last networking meeting. Go to Council website for more information.
Whilst you’re there, you can also visit the Climate Innovation Hub. Olivia Brodhurst lives and breathes climate change and has many useful tips for businesses to help reduce their impact.
With COVID pushed off the front page by natural disasters, the removal of mask mandates has been welcomed by many businesses, retailers in particular. One more step towards easing burdens on the way that businesses are having to operate.
The date for the Chamber's next networking event has been moved slightly and is now scheduled for the evening of Thursday 21st April. Keep an eye out for further details as we are negotiating to bring a speaker of note to the region.
Alan Milostic, President of Whitsunday Coast Chamber
