Discover the chamber at Business at Dusk event

THE 116-year history of the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce has been strongly aligned with the commercial and cultural development of Toowoomba.

Although Toowoomba was declared a municipality in 1860 and the chamber was not formed until 1899, it was about then the fledgling municipality was showing signs of becoming one of the most important inland centres of commerce in Queensland.

Business leaders back then saw the need for a coordinated approach to authorities to ensure Toowoomba was not overlooked in the fight for services to rapidly growing outposts north and west of Brisbane. Today this business representation is just as important as ever.

Here in our community, the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce seeks to create an environment where business and entrepreneurial spirit can grow and thrive.

Our chamber is inclusive. Whether your business is large or small, whether you are male or female, young or old, you have a place in the chamber membership. It provides a platform for Toowoomba businesses to build networks and share information.

The Toowoomba chamber is an advocate for its members. We provide a vehicle through which businesses can have a say in shaping the future of their business community. This vehicle has a national and international brand – value which you cannot put a price on. Representatives from all levels of government are looking to chamber to provide advice on policy issues affecting the Toowoomba business community.

Join us at our premier monthly networking event Business at Dusk. It will be held at Potters Boutique Hotel on July 19.

Hear from the property managers of the hotel as well as Cr Geoff McDonald about how local businesses can capitalise on significant events including the upcoming Carnival of Flowers.
