Local Issues

Staying informed about local government decisions is essential for Gold Coast business owners — and right now, there are two significant issues unfolding that could have real consequences for our region's economy.

Beach Funding Cuts Could Threaten Tourism Economy

Mayor Tom Tate has issued an urgent warning to the Prime Minister over plans to cut millions from beach funding — a move the Mayor says could spell disaster for the city's coastline and the tourism economy that underpins so many local businesses.

Separately, councillors acted swiftly to protect affected development projects following a shock court ruling, recognising the broader economic consequences for contractors, investors, and business owners across the region.

MCC members are encouraged to stay across both issues, as decisions at council and federal level will have real implications for local commerce and investment confidence.

As your local business chamber, the Mudgeeraba Chamber of Commerce will continue to monitor these developments and keep members informed. We encourage you to engage with your local councillors and federal representatives to make your voice heard — because the decisions being made today will shape the business environment we all operate in tomorrow.
