TC Koji Economic Impact Survey

As businesses across the Whitsundays reopen following Tropical Cyclone Koji, it has been encouraging to see the resilience and determination of our local business community.

We also recognise that the impacts of the cyclone have not been the same for everyone, with some businesses experiencing significant disruption or ongoing challenges.

The Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce and Industry is your voice in advocating to local, state and federal government. To ensure we accurately represent the real economic impacts of TC Koji, we are seeking direct input from businesses across the region.

This short survey will capture the effects of the cyclone on business operations, revenue, staffing, and recovery outlook. The insights gathered will be used to inform advocacy efforts, support requests, and discussions around recovery measures and future preparedness.

All responses will be confidential and reported in aggregate only.

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by Friday 30 January and help us advocate effectively on behalf of the Whitsundays business community.
