Whether you’re a small business or a tourism operator, getting back to business sooner following a disaster will be the focus of a disaster resilience forum on Friday 14 June.
Hosted by Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Noosaville Business Association at Peppers Noosa Resort from 7am – 9am, the forum will run through key steps to help businesses get back operating sooner following a crisis and how to become more resilient for future events.
Designed for local tourism and small businesses, the forum will provide an overview of the State Government’s small business disaster hub website and app.
Noosa Chamber of Commerce President, Ralph Rogers said business excellence is all about winning, but business excellence is all about being prepared.
“Every business needs to consider the unexpected. We can’t control when severe weather will strike, but we can prepare our business for when it does,” he shared.
“Our breakfast forum will give our business owners practical advice to help them bounce back following a disaster, as well as expert tips for applying for business recovery grants. We’re also looking forward to welcoming Chair of the Local Disaster Management Group, Mayor Frank Wilkie to the forum,” Mr. Rogers added.
The forum will be facilitated by Articulous – a Brisbane based company specialising in community engagement and crisis communication.
“On site you can meet the people to guide you on how to apply for business recovery grants and a whole lot more about ensuring you are not only a winning business, but a resilient business,” Mr. Rogers said.
In addition to the forum, the breakfast will also include details about local businesses entering the 2024 Sunshine Coast Business Awards and how just entering has positive outcomes for your business.
Attendees will also hear from some Noosa Businesses who have been winners and are now striving to enter the Hall of Fame, why they do it and what their business has gained as a result.
