As the recovery process continues to progress forward, any local residents still seeking assistance have the opportunity to visit the Community Information and Referral Centre that will have staff available to respond to any enquires and assist with finalising provision of additional information relating to grant applications, that have now closed.
Throughout the time this weather and flooding event has impacted the Hinchinbrook Shire, Chamber has been working tirelessly to provide information, support and facilitate individual appointments for local business owners. Chamber will also have a presence at the Community Information and Referral Hub and will work alongside the Recovery Officers to continue to provide this support to the business and broader community.
As planning progresses, the community will have the opportunity visit the Centre and request referrals or schedule appointments with representatives from various agencies who have previously had a presence at the Community Recovery Hub. Private consulting rooms and office space will also be available for confidential and discreet appointments.
Hinchinbrook Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism will continue to play an integral role in the recovery process, recognising this journey will be more of a marathon, than a sprint. For those business owners still wanting to make individual appointments with QRIDA representative Sam Spina, Chamber is now taking bookings for appointments between 1.30-4.30pm, at this Centre.
