A Chamber of Commerce is a network of local businesses and industries. There are Chambers of Commerce all over the world, and while we are all different and separate from one another, we all share the same goal - to improve the local business environment.
We inform our members so they can improve their business. We advocate for jobs, projects and connectivity to improve the local business environment.
We provide members with opportunities to network and promote themselves.

The Chamber’s current constitution, known as the Rules, dates from 1985. Much has changed since then and the Rules, the principal guiding instrument for the Board and members, no longer reflects the vision of today’s Chamber. We invite members to vote on a set of proposed Rules to guide the organisation forward. Changing the Rules is an important step in the Chamber’s 136 years history. Check our Blog for copies of the current Rules, proposed Rules and FAQ’s.
