Topic: The Fraser Coast Regional Council’s Economic Development Strategy
What is it? Who developed it? And most importantly, what does it mean for our region’s future.
The Fraser Coast Regional Council’s Economic Development Strategy is the road map by which our region’s development will be navigated until 2013 and positioned for the future beyond.
We are privileged this month to have Councillor Gerard O’Connell, the Chair of the FCRC Economic Development Commitee, and Leigh Bennett of Enterprise Innovations, the architect of the Economic Development Strategy, join us to share their insights into the draft document just recently presented to Council for consideration.
Understanding the economic environment today and in the future is crucial to all businesses if they are to prosper. This “not to be missed” Chamber breakfast will provide every business owner, and indeed everyone in business, with valuable information that will assist them in developing their own business strategies to achieve profitable futures.

LINKING BUSINESS AND THE COMMUNITY
127th MEETING OF THE BURRUM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE INCORPORATED HELD ON MONDAY, 6th JULY, 2009

VISITORS: Mark Brennan.
Bill Gosewisch welcomed Mark Brennan [visitor] to meeting – recently
moved from Emerald – was on Chamber of Commerce in Emerald –
looking for a position, work in the area –
Items raised in discussion
1…Bill Gosewisch welcomed Mark Brennan [visitor] to meeting – recently moved from Emerald –
2… Henry Sapiecha – asked about Leigh Bennett’s input into last meeting and what exactly his position was – was informed that his position was to oversee how amalgamation is affecting the areas and strategic planning. We need him to be kept informed about our growth in jobs in Howard. Andrew Jackson is development officer and any projects should be forwarded to Andrew Jackson and/or Gerard O’Connell to be submitted to Planning.
3… Bruce Noble – asked if a reply had been received from Wide Bay Water in regards to the application for funding for sewerage in Howard – was informed State Govt. had cancelled funding – still would require a town meeting with majority voting in favour.
4…Henry Sapiecha – informed Chamber that they were waiting on Material Change of Use on land
5…Bill Gosewisch informed meeting that the rumour that the trains would not be stopping at Howard is untrue – as far as he is aware this is not so.
6…Fund Raising – Henry informed meeting that he was still waiting for maps from surveyors–
7…Conference – A meeting of the 4 Chamber of Commerce’s to be held on Thursday night – cost $35.00 per head – Committee to pay for the four executives attending – idea is to discuss role, format and coordination of the Chambers. Rates – will rise in development costs – infrastructure costs will be taken for Hervey Bay – this is unfair to outlying areas .Fraser Coast chamber now to replace Wide Bay proposal to be tabled.
8…AGM –to be held in September – nomination forms to be forwarded to members –
9…Bill Brown asked about planter boxes – was informed that one was on show in the Community Centre.
10..Fund raising – Henry Sapiecha suggested a yearly grand trash & treasure auction be held in the community hall – Bill [president] stated that the Hall and oval can also be utilised for something like a arts/craft show which could be a fund raiser as well as bringing visitors to the town thus benefiting businesses.
11..Mark Brennan explained operations from Emerald C. of C. – booklet being printed with discount to services in area – may not be enough businesses to warrant cost of printing in Howard.
12..Henry Sapiecha expressed his displeasure in the Fraser Coast Council – trees were planted at entrance to H. B. some time ago – instead of using locals to supply & plant trees , tenders went to Sunshine Coast.
13..Museum – Henry complimented Burrum Heritage Committee on the excellent museum and displays.
Closed @ 8:25pm.
Next meeting to be held on MONDAY, 3rd AUGUST, 2009

LETTER TO PERSONS OF INTEREST
ON INAUGRAL FRASER COAST
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CONFERENCE
10th July 2009
We spoke last night at the inaugral meeting of the Fraser Coast Chamber of Commerce by the executives and delegates of the various local chambers at Susan River Homestead to replace the Wide Bay Chamber of Commerce and still maintaining the autonomy of each of the existing chambers.
Represented by:-
Tiaro
Maryborough
Burrum District
Hervey bay
Your MB Chamber contact details with all web and email links would be appreciated so we can place these details into our web site for access to all of our members under the affiliates link.
We also are open to constructive advice on inclusions into our web presence that will benefit our members.
I [on behalf of the Burrum Chamber of Commerce] am further requesting from the Hervey Bay chamber
who recorded proceeding for the night to supply us at the earliest a transcript of what was discussesd as well as contact emails etc for all attendees of that meeting.and official contact points, links and info
of all the chambers involved.
It is our aim also to avail ourselves of the opportunity to encourage members of other chambers in the district to become members of our Burrum chamber for the princely sum of $40 per annum.
For this they will get a full page write-up in our web site www.burrumcc.org.au
and many other advantages from our members by way of potential business.
Our arguement is that it costs that much for a few lines in the classifieds of the local paper for one day.
Here for their $40 they get a lot more over an entire year.
This is a no brainer ladies and gentlemen..
The rates are set to rise shortly so get in quickly and have it fixed for the next full year.
Once we obtain a transcript of proceedings of the meeting,
we shall post an approved sterilized version of the meeting in our site as well
Please feel free to selectively distribute copies of this email to any and all who may benefit from receiving same.
Any email addresses the chambers and others can supply to us for receipt of our regular mailouts would also be appreciated.
Please forward info via email back to this email.
We have understood that at last nights meeting Burrum Chamber president Bill raised the issue of availablity of our local community hall
for the first new Fraser Coast Chamber of Commerce meeting set for October 2009. We look forward to it being held here @ Howard..
Can recipients of this email pass it on to those who can action a response for the information we seek.?
It was the consensus of the delegates at the conference that we must maintain effective dialogue and communication between the individual chambers when dealing with commercial issues and council matters effecting our members.
This is why we now seek to share and access the relevant data to enable us to do the above with vigour and purpose.
Congratulations on a great night and look forward to the Future of the Fraser Coast Chamber of Commerce.
and a thank you to our conference host Norm at Susan River Homestead
