WORKING Together for Growth: Strengthening the Whitsundays.
Progress happens when business, government and community work together.
Across all levels—local, state and federal—we’re seeing a stronger commitment to collaboration, helping to advance major projects that will shape the future of the Whitsundays.
One exciting opportunity on the horizon is the push to bring Olympic sailing to the Whitsundays, in 2032.
Mayor Ry Collins has been actively advocating for our region to be considered as a host or co-host for sailing events, highlighting our world-class conditions, existing infrastructure, and global reputation as Australia’s premier sailing destination.
Hosting Olympic events here would deliver significant economic and tourism benefits, directly supporting local businesses and showcasing our region on an international stage.
Just as we’re working alongside government to drive large-scale projects, we’re also committed to supporting businesses at a local level.
To ensure we’re addressing real-time challenges and opportunities, the Chamber will be activating a Proserpine Subcommittee and our strategic Chamber Advisory Group in the coming months.
These groups will provide immediate feedback, shape advocacy efforts, and strengthen business connectivity.
Stay tuned for updates and outcomes from these meetings!
If you’d like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.
Your voice matters in shaping the future of business in our region.
