At Business Port Macquarie, we believe you don’t have to do business alone. For nearly 40 years, we’ve been bringing local businesses together to connect, grow and celebrate what makes our region such a great place to live and work.
Creating connections
Good business starts with good relationships. Throughout the year, our members come together in relaxed, welcoming settings to meet new people, share ideas and support each other.
* Coffee Connections: our monthly morning catch-up, hosted by a different member each time
* BA5 Happy Hour: after-work networking with a member panel sharing the stories behind their businesses
* Opportunities to hold Leaders Round Table: local leaders working together to shape the future of business in Greater Port Macquarie
* Workshops and education: practical sessions on the topics that matter to business right now, from digital tools to cyber safety
Interested in hosting a Coffee Connection or Leaders Round Table? It’s a great way to showcase your business to fellow members, and we can hold events at your venue or a local café.
A voice for local business
We meet regularly with local, state and federal representatives to make sure our members’ priorities are heard. From infrastructure to economic development, we bring the concerns, opportunities and ambitions of the local business community to the table where decisions are made.
Celebrating our community
We’re proud to bring some of Port Macquarie’s biggest celebrations to life, including the New Year’s Eve Fireworks over the Hastings River and the Greater Port Macquarie Business Awards, which recognise the innovation, leadership and community spirit of local businesses.
We also publish Business Connect Magazine, packed with member stories, expert advice and insights for doing business in our region.
Support local
Whether you’re planning a team celebration, a client thank-you or your next event, please think of our members first. From venues and catering to team activities and professional services, everything you need is right here in our community.
