Mackay Region Business' Resilience Shines

Mackay businesses have proven themselves to be resilient and strong through natural disasters, economic downturns and now a pandemic.

COVID-19 is a topic that can’t be escaped.

The Mackay Region Chamber of Commerce are calling for continued support for local businesses, as the workforce shifts to go remote and foot traffic slows down for the unforeseen future, we don’t want people to desert our hospitality and retail businesses.

9th Lane Grind is an example of one of our many incredible hospitality businesses that has adapted to the circumstances.

You can now place an order for delivery in the city centre and surrounding suburbs, minimising any contact you need to make.

9th Lane can be contacted on: 0428 897 861.

It is now more important than ever to remember our #buymackay message.

“We need to be creative in times like this, finding ways to support our business community while staying safe, consumers should take advantage of the local businesses offering apps or the ability to order over the phone,” said MRCOC President Victoria Gracie. 

“These local businesses are truly the backbone to our regional economy, and we need to support them every step of the way,” said Emma Murphy, who has been working closely with the Chamber Member businesses currently experiencing challenging times.

The Chamber continues to provide advice to local employers, alongside Chamber of Commerce and Industry Queensland.

If you are a business owner or manager who is unsure of the steps to take for your staff, contact us today or follow us on social media we have a series of webinars and critical HR advice.
