Many attendees enjoyed hosting nbn Australia representatives Casie and Karley and listened as the pair provided an update on the current infrastructure works being delivered in the Hinchinbrook Shire, as well as valuable education in relation to how consumers can achieve best outcomes from these upgrades. The ladies have already been engaging with the community to provide this broader education and have offered Chamber the opportunity to host workshops in the future, that will provide more comprehensive information to the business community. Chamber welcomed this opportunity and will market the dates and location in the very near future, once details are confirmed.
Representatives from the Hinchinbrook Life Newspaper and Herbert River Canegrowers also attended and provided updates.
“It is pleasing to hear the Hinchinbrook Life newspaper continues to evolve as the community is embracing the publication and the business community has the opportunity to showcase their products via print media,” shared Chamber.
“It was also very valuable to hear a wrap up of the 2024 cane harvest season and some of the potential influences that may flow to the business community, as the New Year begins.”
Some of the activities Chamber intends to deliver this year include, workshops, with first being Digital Content Creations Workshops in February, Coffee Connection Catch-ups and Members Showcasing Events, as well as training opportunities that would be of interest to the wider community. Already a busy year ahead is planned by Chamber as they continue to support and deliver for their valued membership base.
