Businesses across the Whitsundays are being encouraged to join the Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce and Industry as part of the launch of the Chamber’s new 2026–27 membership program.
Members who join by 30 June will automatically go into the draw to win a two-week advertising package on the Airlie Hill Billboard, providing valuable exposure for their business in one of the region’s busiest locations.
The Chamber’s updated membership structure has been designed to better support the diverse needs of the Whitsundays business community, with tailored membership options now available for businesses, associations, wedding industry operators, and market vendors.
Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Allan Milostic said the Chamber continued to strengthen its role as the leading voice and connector for local business.
“The Chamber exists to support local businesses through advocacy, networking, promotion, education, and collaboration,” Allan said. “We want businesses of every size and stage to feel part of a strong and connected business community, whether they are a start-up, market vendor, tourism operator, professional service, or established employer.”
