Wales re-elected chamber president

Mr Matthew Wales has been re-elected as the president of the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, at the Chamber's annual meeting on Monday, March 11.

"We have a very challenging year ahead but I am very grateful for the support of the local business community for enabling me to continue on in this position," said Mr Wales.

"Our annual general meeting also re-elected a full executive that keeps intact a very successful and diverse range of directors that represent the business community in all three Peninsula town centres.

"I am particularly proud of the efforts of the executive in the revitalisation of the Umina Beach retail centre and the hard work that has gone into the Woy Woy Town Centre Sub-Committee.

"All our executive are volunteers and give their time freely to ensure that the business community is fully represented at all levels of government.

"Many thanks to the Liberal Candidate for Federal seat of Robertson Lucy Wicks who also attended the meeting together with Gosford Council who gave a presentation of the upcoming Ettalong Beach foreshore works," said Mr Wales.

"This year will see our continued efforts in promoting our town centres, pushing for the completion of the Ettalong foreshore works, lobbying for funding for projects to kick start the Woy Woy Town Centre and once again staging the highly successful Brisbane Water Oyster festival," said Mr Wales.
