Welcome to our latest Chamber newsletter
The last few weeks have been incredibly busy for the Chamber, and we're certain other businesses have felt the strain from end of financial year obligations.
The bulk of our memberships were also up for renewal on 30 June, and we would like to thank our members for continuing their membership with the Chamber.
Still on the fence about joining the Chamber?
We support a diverse range of businesses - large and small. Our members range from sole traders, to farm advisory services, vets, arborists, artists, photographers, landscapers, engineers, tourist operators, cafes and bars (to name a few).
When you join the Chamber, you'll have access to our great package of membership benefits including training, workshops, networking, advocacy and member discounts. Your membership also extends to your employees!
We're also focused on supporting local and advocating locally and nationally in the interests of our members and the issues that matter to you.
