Cyclone Narelle Follow Up Business Impact Survey II – Exmouth
Supporting Our Business Community Through Recovery and Beyond

The Exmouth Chamber of Commerce & Industry is continuing to collect detailed information from local businesses to ensure our community receives appropriate and targeted support during the next phase of Cyclone Narelle recovery.

Your responses to this follow-up survey will assist in quantifying ongoing economic impacts, identifying funding and policy gaps, and strengthening advocacy for practical and timely assistance from State and Federal agencies.

We recognise the significant pressure placed on businesses across all sectors in recent weeks. This second-round survey is designed to capture emerging and longer-term impacts as operations resume, insurance processes progress, and the full extent of recovery costs becomes clearer.

The information provided will directly inform our engagement with government, industry bodies, and recovery partners.

All responses will remain strictly confidential and will be reported only in aggregated form. Your participation ensures Exmouth’s business community is accurately represented in recovery planning and funding decisions.
