The Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce will host a free ‘meet the candidates’ event, specifically aimed at Byron businesses, on Monday, September 9, from 4.30pm to 5.30pm at the Byron Community Centre (Wategos meeting room).
Matt Williamson, President of the Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce, says, ‘This essential gathering offers a unique opportunity for the Byron Bay business community to engage directly with candidates vying for seats in the upcoming Byron Shire Council elections’.
‘In an open and inclusive forum, candidates from all political parties will be present to discuss their visions and plans for the future of business in Byron Shire.
‘This event is not only a chance to hear from the candidates but also a platform for the community to voice their questions and concerns directly to those seeking office.
‘This is a pivotal moment for our town, and it’s important that our local businesses have their voices heard’, he added.
For those unable to attend in person, the event will also be livestreamed on the Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce Facebook event page, allowing even broader participation from the community.
