Business Impact Survey
It is crucial that all businesses in the Hinchinbrook Shire take the time to complete the Queensland Government Business Impact Survey.
This critical information will provide evidence to the government, when formulating the level of funding support that may be offered moving forward.
QRIDA Representative Sam Spina, explained that we are currently sitting at “Category C” funding, so with further information and evidence from you, the category may bump up to “Category D” with more funding and incentives. The Business Impact Survey can be accessed from HERE.
