I’d encourage all members and guests to come along and learn more about the Glasshouse operations to date and how this great resource can support the business community into the future”.
The evening will commence with registration from 6pm for a 6:30pm start. Book your attendance before 3pm Fri 17 July by e-mailing Kerry at info@portchamber.com.au or call 6583 4412.

| Port Macquarie’s population on the move... | ||
|
It was great to see the release of the preliminary findings of the Residential Development Council’s “Australia on the move” report. This estimated that Port Macquarie’s population will increase by 35% to 58,888 by 2027. This places Port as one of Australia's top 20 growth centres.
A copy of the full report will obtained by the Chamber for further consideration on its release, in the next couple of weeks. |
