Recap of Steph Cooke’s Networking Night

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Tuesday night!

A big thank‑you to MP Steph Cooke and Mayor Paul Smith for attending our Networking Night on Tuesday and contributing to a really constructive discussion with our local business community.

We also want to thank all the business owners and community members who came along, shared experiences, and raised the issues that matter most to Cowra.
Cowra Business Chamber is grateful to the Cowra Golf Club for welcoming us and providing a great space for the evening.

Key topics raised on the night included:

  • Trades training access and workforce retention
  • Illegal tobacco and vape concerns
  • Delivery access, CBD growth and housing
  • Tourism opportunities and weekend trade
  • Landlord issues and access to public amenities
  • Red tape and regulatory pressures on small business

Your insights help shape the Chamber’s advocacy and ensure local business voices are heard.

Thank you again to everyone who attended and contributed to a productive evening.
