The numbers make for sobering reading. Queensland business confidence remains weak at minus 31 points, despite a slight quarterly rebound — with businesses delaying investment, halting recruitment, and axing expansion plans as rising costs and economic uncertainty take hold.

Nationally, the picture is similarly subdued.

The Mudgeeraba Chamber of Commerce is here to connect you with fellow local business owners who understand exactly what you're going through. Get involved, share what's working, and tap into the collective wisdom of our community — because in times like these, being part of a strong local network isn't just valuable, it's essential.
