In this Chamber catch-up, Jason Foss and Phil Henry reflected on another busy morning at Complete Modular Living in Yeppoon — a great example of local innovation in modular housing.

The pair discussed several key updates and takeaways for local business owners:

• The State Government’s renewed look at payroll tax reform, long overdue and vital for business growth.
• A “thought bubble” from Jason encouraging businesses to start planning for 2026, asking: “What do you want people to say about your business when you’re not in the room?”
• A reminder to define what “good” really means to your customers — faster, better, cheaper, or more personal — and build around that.
• Insights from Livingstone Shire Council’s Economic Update, focusing on planning for rapid population growth and housing needs.
• A rundown of upcoming Chamber events — including Gracemere Connect, the AGM, and the Christmas party.
• And finally, a lesson from the Bureau of Meteorology’s website redesign: don’t make changes that look good but frustrate your customers.
