As a member of the Western Port Chamber of Commerce & Industry you can take advantage of a range of benefits, including:

Networking opportunities

Find new customers, suppliers, and receive/provide referrals with chamber members.

Support network

Receive business advice, join social interaction at our events and build strong friendships.

Sense of belonging

Joining a chamber can open up a new network of contact, particularly for sole traders who tend to work alone.

Event involvement

The WCCI runs business breakfasts each month, the Hastings Trade Expo, and workshops for chamber members. We also support and volunteer at local events such as the Western Port Festival.

Business and brand exposure

Your business will be visible to other businesses and residents in Hastings and surrounding suburbs via the hastings.org.au website, printed retail directory, newsletters and events.

Promotional opportunities

As a chamber member, you will have access to sponsorship opportunities, networking event giveaways, and naming rights to chamber-run events, promotions and activities.

Seasonal promotional activities

The WCCI runs seasonal promotional activities to encourage more visitors to Hastings, and keep them coming back!

Showcase your business

You will have the opportunity to showcase your business (for free!) at our Hastings Trade Expo, and learn about your neighbours’ goods and services. You might even make a new contact!

Many people make one strong voice

The chamber gives local businesses a place to voice their concerns via a common body, and have access to lobbying with all levels of Government. We work closely with council and other local organisations to maintain what locals like about Hastings, and lobby for improvements where needed.
