May 2, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kingaroy Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s push to connect local businesses with the multi-million dollar “renewable” projects coming to the region is gearing up.<\/p>\n

The business association is urging its members to draft capability statements which the KCCI will share with the contractors and sub-contractors engaged on the upcoming wind farm, battery and solar farm projects.<\/p>\n

Progress on various KCCI projects was shared at the group’s latest meet’n’greet which was held in the courtyard behind the Hunter Gatherer Trader caf\u00e9 in Kingaroy on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

The caf\u00e9 and three adjoining businesses – Resonate Regional Radio (4SB), Kingaroy Accounting and Tax and ATC Engineers & Project Managers – hosted the get-together for local businesspeople.<\/p>\n

The KCCI is also collecting data from its members which it plans to collate to use while lobbying Council, State and Federal governments on local issues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A mini-survey was conducted at the meet’n’greet which found\u00a0 the majority of businesses present used Telstra as their internet supplier, followed by Optus.<\/p>\n

The data collected during this project will enable the KCCI to work out where it can better support its local businesses, and will also be shared with the media.<\/p>\n

Another KCCI project is the collection of information for its South Burnett Regional Identity Project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All South Burnett residents have been invited to fill out an online survey<\/a> …<\/strong>\u00a0but it must be completed this week.<\/p>\n

The KCCI will be hosting a working group as part of this project to help unearth the “region’s true identity”. This will be held at the Kingaroy Red Ants Clubhouse on Thursday, May 23, from 8:30am to 4:00pm. Bookings can be made online<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
