Kooralbyn, S.E. Queensland, Australia.
Kooralbyn businesses assisting local business.
Welcome to the Kooralbyn Valley Chamber of
Commerce's website. We are affiliated with the Queensland Chamber
of Commerce & Industry, and our role is to encourage and
promote local business in this special part of the Gold Coast
hinterland, known as The Scenic Rim.Kooralbyn is situated approximately midway between Beaudesert and Rathdowney on the Mt. Lindesay Highway 13, about a 1 hour drive from both the Gold Coast and Brisbane, and we have a lifestyle that is the envy of most. We enjoy the peace and tranquility of a scenic rural setting while being so close to the major business and population growth centres of Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Overseas visitors hear about Australia, where kangaroos hop down the main street: well, our Kooralbyn is the town where that happens. Our business community is a little different to most Chambers, in that the majority of our local business people are involved in home-based business, with a small, but expanding CBD of a rural township character. Rarely does such a unique opportunity exist, where business can have daily interaction with many worlds: the natural landscape and the large variety of wildlife in it, while being involved in the world of e-commerce or other business-to-business transactions. Kooralbyn is a unique lifestyle in S.E. Queensland.
Kooralbyn today is a rapidly growing centre that began in the 1840s as a pastoral holding, until the 1970s, when it was sold to become a rural residential resort, based around a championship golf course. It has since developed into becoming a growing, thriving community, supporting a variety of businesses, services, and trades. In 1998, a Chamber of Commerce was formed, with a goal of assisting a growing business population that was residing in Kooralbyn to thrive and prosper, so that the community as a whole, could benefit from a healthy business community in their midst.
We encourage all of those who have businesses based around Kooralbyn to become financial members of the Kooralbyn Valley Chamber of Commerce, and enjoy the benefits that come from:
* Having regular access to your Local Government representative,
* Having a voice in your local business environment,
* Gaining from others' experiences and advice,
* Networking with other business people.
