In the lead up to the Queensland State Election, the Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce and Industry welcomed the opportunity to host an event on Thursday 3 October for the Whitsundays business community to meet candidates and to explore specific issues relating to business, industry, and economic development with them.
Despite numerous communications, two of the four candidates have not confirmed their availability.
Due to this, the Chamber board has made the decision to cancel rather than proceed with a half scale event.
We will be inviting all candidates to formally respond to the questions raised by our members that would have been discussed at the event and look forward to sharing their positions in due course.
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.
