The Chamber is undertaking work to articulate an economic vision for the Whitsundays that is informed by the region’s trades, small business, commerce, and industry.
The aim is to build a comprehensive economic vision that aligns with the region’s unique strengths, challenges, and aspirations.
We invited the business community, stakeholders and individuals to inform the project’s key findings and recommendations and captured just over 130 perspectives through formal submissions, online survey, and focus groups, as well as reviewing other sources of data and reports.
Preliminary findings were announced in August 2024 with the report to be released in 2025.
This project is totally independent and apolitical, and wholly initiated and undertaken by the Chamber. This project has not been commissioned or funded by local, state, or federal government, department, or agency.
