Our region has spoken - and we’ve been heard.
Business Port Macquarie is incredibly proud to share that thanks to the overwhelming support of our community, more than 10,000 signatures have been collected on the Oxley Highway Petition. This week, Robert Dwyer will deliver those signatures to Parliament, demanding action on the urgent need for improvements at the Wrights Road Roundabout.
This incredible milestone is proof of what we can achieve when we come together as a united front.
When Businesses Unite, Change Happens
The petition wasn’t just about a dangerous roundabout. It was about showing the power of our collective voice. It was about demonstrating that when local businesses and community members stand side-by-side, we can influence decisions that shape the future of our region.
At Business Port Macquarie, we were proud to lead the charge - coordinating efforts, rallying our members, and ensuring this issue stayed at the forefront of public discussion. But the truth is, none of this would have been possible without you.
It’s the dedication of our business community, our members, and their belief in creating a better future that turned this petition into a powerful movement.
