Read the full storyThe April meeting of the Hinchinbrook Chamber Meeting of Commerce, Industry & tourism Inc. was held at the community Recovery and Referral Centre at 73-81 Lannercost Street last week and was well attended by Chamber Members.
Chamber has recently taken on the short-term project of supporting the community following the recent flood impacts and will be delivering the Queensland Government funded, Community Recovery Officer role, on behalf of Hinchinbrook Shire Council. This new role will provide the opportunity for chamber to work with and support the community, including business owners and managers, to access the diverse range of assistance that is available to support recovery from the February event.
The meeting provided an excellent opportunity to discuss the issues that have been impacting them as residents and business owners, touching on the various topics from insurance, construction capacity to undertake flood repair works and skilling attraction to fill the workforce gaps to enable businesses to rebuild and recover.
The members were very pleased to be made aware of the announcement that those businesses who had been impacted by loss of electricity during the event, resulting in loss of perishable stock, had now been included as being business grant eligible. The members expressed their absolute thanks and appreciation to Hinchinbrook Shire Council and all those who had advocated so strongly to achieve this outcome.
Another opportunity now available to the business community was shared by Hinchinbrook Life representatives that they are now offering marketing opportunities in their publication “Tripping Magazine”. Hinchinbrook Shire will feature in the May edition, with favourable packages now available for interested businesses. These publications are free, and available in many tourist hotspots from Mackay, Bowen Basin, Whitsundays, Burdekin, Townsville and now Hinchinbrook.
May is Queensland Small Business Month and planning is also well underway for the Chamber event – Hinchinbrook Vibes - being hosted at end of month to celebrate.
