Porters Mitre 10 Whitsunday – Building Better Together

This month, we meet Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce & Industry member Porters Mitre 10 Whitsunday.

Covering Airlie Beach, Cannonvale, Proserpine, Bowen, and the Whitsunday Islands, Porters Mitre 10 Whitsunday has been the go-to destination for building and home improvement needs since 2002. As part of the long-established Porters Group — proudly serving the local community since 1883 — the Whitsunday store continues the tradition of combining trusted service with quality products for both tradies and DIY enthusiasts.

From hardware and tools to building materials, outdoor living, and now a specialist paint store, Porters Mitre 10 Whitsunday is a true one-stop shop for the region. A major milestone in 2024 was the opening of Inspirations Paint Cannonvale, enhancing their paint and colour services with expert advice and premium brands, conveniently located within the Mitre 10 store.

As a locally owned business servicing the building and retail sector, Porters is responding to industry trends by expanding its range of sustainable building materials and energy-efficient products. Their edge lies in personalised service, knowledgeable staff, and a strong focus on supporting local trade professionals.

Like many businesses, Porters Mitre 10 Whitsunday has faced supply chain and workforce challenges over the past year. Their response? Diversifying suppliers, strengthening local inventory, and investing in continuous team development.

Their advice to fellow business operators:

1. Your people are your strongest asset – invest in them.
2. Remain agile – adaptability is key to long-term success.
3. Community matters – nurture local relationships for lasting impact.

Being a Chamber member helps the team stay connected with the broader business community, access valuable networking opportunities, and keep pace with regional developments — all while reinforcing their commitment to giving back locally.

Come on down for a free coffee, brekkies, prizes, and networking with the business community.
