Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce AGM welcomes in new team
THE Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce held its Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, September 16, at the Glass House Mountains Sports Club, drawing local business owners and community members for an evening of connection and collaboration.
The event served not only as a formal AGM but also as a strategic forum, offering attendees a chance to provide feedback on the proposed Sunshine Coast Town Planning Scheme. Division One Councillor Jenny Broderick chaired the meeting’s official proceedings.
The executive committee includes Naomi Pearce as President, joined by Vice President Lewis Kwarcianyi, Secretary Bailey Sims, and Treasurer Richard Barrett. Four general committee members were also endorsed: Jesse Webb, Sam Elms, Roger Reilly, and Ann Ross.
The incoming committee outlined its commitment to building a strategic action plan shaped by the voices of local businesses, aimed at fostering a thriving, resilient economy, while balancing the region’s character and lifestyle as the area experiences rapid growth and development.
The latter half of the evening featured a group feedback session to support the Chamber’s submission to the Council’s “Have Your Say” initiative, addressing the impacts of the proposed planning scheme. A lively Q&A followed, with attendees contributing ideas for the Chamber’s role in shaping the region’s future.
