The Chamber of Commerce held is annual general meeting on October 23, at Yamba Cinema, with discussion surrounding the revival of the Yamba Chamber post Covid and the election of a new executive to steer the organisation into 2024.

Over the past 12 months a number of new businesses have opened in Yamba and some businesses have changed hands, providing the business community with new offerings for customers and a fresh injection of enthusiasm.

The new Yamba Chamber of Commerce executive is:

President: Larnie Germain

Vice-President: Alison Sloley

Secretary: Toni Ball

Treasurer: Rick Angelo

Committee: Debbie McCredie, Bev Mansfield, James Allen.
