The Townsville Chamber of Commerce
A Chamber of Commerce is a form of business network, with local businesses getting together to further their interest.
There are Chambers of Commerce all over the world and while we are all independent and different from one another, we all share the same goal: to improve the local business environment.
The Townsville Chamber has been in existence for 135 years and provides its members with networking and promotion opportunities and information to improve their business.
As the independent voice of business in Townsville, the Chamber also advocates on a range of issues to advance the interest of our members and the broad business community regarding regional opportunities and community affairs.
