Cranbourne Chamber of Commerce

The Cranbourne Chamber of Commerce is a long-standing institution which has been serving the needs of local business and the community of Cranbourne and surrounding areas for decades and will continue to do so for a long time yet.

The purpose of the Cranbourne Chamber of Commerce & Industry Inc. is to:

‘Initiate, stimulate, promote, grow and represent business development within Cranbourne’

The above purpose can be achieved by conducting a range of supporting activities such as:

Holding regular meetings for members
Liaising with other Chambers of Commerce on a regular basis
Developing strong links with appropriate Local, State and Federal Government Agencies
Conducting relevant research on an ongoing basis
Supporting the development of a strong local community and a sense of civic pride
Encouraging all businesses within Cranbourne to become members of the Chamber

With a progressive and strong executive team on board and a business community (membership) which continues to grow in numbers and go from strength to strength, the Chamber is well positioned to articulate and advocate for the aspirations, needs and desires of our business community.

Our website is just one of the new initiatives which has been developed to serve the interests of our members as well as the wider community. Businesses come on board with the Chamber, as it’s a forum in which people can exchange great ideas, meet new people, learn from others, and above all, grow their business, so if you’re thinking of joining us, please do, we’d love to have you.

There are many new and interesting challenges facing businesses, therefore it is vitally important that, at a local level particularly, there are strong strategic partnerships with key players such as Local and State Government, peak bodies, local community groups, non government organisations and more generally the residents of Cranbourne and the wider City of Casey. After all, we want our residents to shop locally, and to be consulted when Local and State Government are considering new projects in our town.

As a Chamber, we are very excited to hear from anyone who feels they can constructively contribute to building on the existing strengths of the business sector and adding value through creative ideas and solutions to perceived problems.

We look forward to serving our community in an effective and meaningful way and working with all businesses and the community in the upcoming days. If you would like to find out more, please contact us, and we’ll be happy to help.
