Chamber Chat: Queensland State Election looming

Must read

By WCCI president Allan Milostic

IT’S BEEN another busy time for businesses in the region, with a number of regional events wrapping up and school holidays upon us.

While business owners are constantly dealing in ‘the now’, we also need to keep an eye on ‘the future’. 

With the Queensland State Election on our doorstep, the Chamber will soon issue our State Election Statement that reflects the critical priorities our members want to see addressed.

We have invited Chamber members to share their view, and provide impact examples, on important issues.

Issues range from urgent road infrastructure, business red tape and regulation, business insurance and affordability, regional housing, utility costs (water, electricity, energy and digital) and reliability, securing regional involvement in the 2032 Olympics, and increasing Whitsunday and north Queensland representation in state government decision making.

The Chamber will be undertaking advocacy work with all State Electioncandidates and allied stakeholder groups, to represent the priority needs of the region’s business community. 

We will be hosting a members-only Meet the State Election Candidates event, to discuss business community priorities.

We encourage other regional special interest groups to hold their own forums with candidates, so as to provide our community with opportunities to meet candidates and discuss priorities.
