Federal Member for Robertson Dr. Gordon Reid guest speaker at Chamber Breakfast

The Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has recently met with new Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid a specially convened breakfast meeting at The Boathouse Restaurant at Koolewong. 

“It was great to have the Dr Gordon Reid meet our local business community in what we hope to be the first on many occasions that we can exchange views on the Federal Governments role in the business sector”, said Peninsula Chamber President Matthew Wales 

“We have a pretty extensive list of issues that we presented to the Federal Member including our ongoing concerns over the state of our local roads and the role that the Federal Government can play in supporting Central Coast Council in repairing and reconstructing so many of our key roads”. 

“It was refreshing to meet a new young Federal Member that fully understood our local concerns as he grew up and went to school on the Peninsula”, said Matthew Wales. 

“Combined with parents who have been an integral part of the local business community, it is encouraging that Dr Reid has a broad understanding of our local community and local issues from the pressures on the health system, the challenges facing the school system and our youth and to the needs of the business community”. 

“For the local business community, the main issues put to Dr Reid were the state of our roads, the upcoming reconstruction of the Rawson Road/Ocean Beach Road intersection, the increasing cost of living and high energy bills facing many local businesses”, said Matthew Wales. 

“The Chamber is looking forward to working with the Dr Reid in the coming months so as to achieve the best possible outcome for our local business community”
