James Cook University (JCU) researchers are calling for urgent government support to protect the spectacled flying-fox from extinction as new and escalating threats push the species closer to the brink. Despite their reputation as noisy and messy neighbours, spectacled flying-foxes play a vital role in the survival of Australia’s rainforests, travelling vast distances to pollinate flowers and spread seeds at levels unmatched by any other species.

Read the full storyFor an increasing number of years, attracting workers to pursue career pathways or fill the many seasonal roles available to support the agricultural sector within the Hinchinbrook shire, has become one of the most significant factors impacting local businesses. For this reason, the membership of Hinchinbrook Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Tourism Inc made the decision to proudly support and sponsor of the upcoming Link2Country Expo, to be held at Ingham Showgrounds on May 23 & 24.
Chamber also believes it is very important to support the young entrepreneurs who have developed this event that will focus on showcasing career opportunities in agriculture locally and more broadly across many industry sectors. This is a very exciting new event for the region, with business participants and attendees expected from across the shire and the broader region.
By way of supporting local businesses, Chamber has been sharing job vacancies and employment opportunities through social media platforms for some time and will be creating a “noticeboard” that will showcase available jobs for this event, with the aim to achieve successful application outcomes.
Another resource that many local business owners are using for recruitment is the “Jobs North Queensland" website (www.jobsnorthqueensland.com.au). This site developed by Regional Development Australia Townsville and North West, enables businesses to list jobs vacancies and job seekers to register their resumes for free. It is a regional site, which incorporates a Hinchinbrook Employment section and Chamber has been working with locals to promote the use of this website.
Chamber is requesting any businesses currently recruiting, or looking to recruit in the near future, please email the details to admin@hinchinbrookchamber.com.au, to have this information added to the online and event platforms.
