Wales elected for 20th year as Chamber president

Peninsula Chamber of Commerce president Mr Matthew Wales has been re-elected for a 20th consecutive year in office.

"I am very proud to once again lead this organisation for the next 12 months," said Mr Wales.

"This is a very critical period for our local business community with a number of important matters that need to be addressed particularly leading up to the NSW State Election next March.

"The Chamber will continue to focus on finding a long term solution to the dredging of the Ettalong Channel which has vital business implications should the Palm Beach Ferry discontinue its services", Mr Wales said.

"We will also be taking a lead role with submissions to the soon to be released Consolidated LEP process which looks to introduce Council wide standard planning controls and how these effect our town centres.

"The Chamber will also continue to push for state and federal funding for our local roads including the $35M promised at the last State Election.

"I am also pleased that last year's Chamber executive has also been re-elected.

We have a very dedicated group of business people who are very passionate about their community and I look forward to working with them again this coming year," Mr Wales said.
