Connecting with small business around the state

The Cairns Small Business Roundtable

As Queensland Small Business Champion, Maree engages with the small business community around the state.

Maree has connected on an individual basis with small business representatives from Cairns to the Gold Coast, including metropolitan and regional areas such as Roma, Townsville, Yeppoon and Mount Isa.

The Cairns Small Business Roundtable, held in May 2017 as part of Queensland Small Business Week, brought together delegates from the business community, industry, education sector and government to discuss the impacts of regulation on business. The Roundtable also gave local businesses the opportunity to hear from and network with Kate Carnell, Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman, as well as members of the Queensland Government-appointed Better Regulation Taskforce.
