A huge thank you to everyone who attended the combined Tourism Whitsundays and Whitsunday Chamber of Commerce end-of-year networking event at the Airlie Beach Hotel. It was a great night with everyone enjoying the mixed company and relaxed format, and to support the silent auction with all proceeds going to Eco Barge Clean Seas.
The event reminded us that the silly season is upon us. Are you ready? No matter what business you’re in, now is the time to prepare for the next few months. Regular staff may be away – Is your staffing mix right? Do you have a plan for stock and deliveries? Are you prepared for extreme weather events, disaster, or disruption? Always worth a rethink and review.
It is also a time of closing off the calendar year. A time to say thanks to your team, customers, and our local community for their support.
One way to support your local community is to shop local. Every dollar spent locally contributes to our local economy – to jobs and building a vital, sustainable community.
In 2025, the Chamber looks forward to continuing representing business community needs and ideas, evolving our membership services, and expanding our business education programs.
The Chamber has released its 2025 event dates which will include a Meet the Candidate event for the federal election, and our Whitsunday Business Conference on Thursday 28 August 2025.
The Chamber Board and Liaisons will be taking short break during the festive season from Monday 24 December to Sunday 6 January inclusive. The Chamber Board wishes all our members, supporters, and the broader Whitsunday business community a happy and safe festive season.
