Bells Line of Road Business Council Inc (BLOR Business) held an inaugural networking luncheon on Tuesday 21 February 2023 hosted by Archibald Hotel Kurrajong Heights.
Over 50 people representing 40 businesses along, or off, Bells Line of Road attended the event welcoming the chance to share concerns about common problems and opportunities for mutual benefit.
BLOR Business vision is to build a thriving and diverse regional corridor to live, work and enjoy for residents, visitors, and travelers alike.
The Council was formed in 2022 and aims to improve existing networks and channels of cooperation between small and micro local businesses and all tiers of government.
The Council provides information, advice, and support on matters of concern to its membership and lobbies government with suggestions for improvements to policies and procedures that will help small, and micro businesses survive in this difficult economic time.
Recently the Council made representations to the Minister for Planning Anthony Roberts regarding regulation of Agritourism and Farm Gate visitation.
BLOR Business President Marg Tadrosse owner of the Bilpin Fruit Bowl said: “We visited the Minister in NSW Parliament and then he came to Bilpin so he could better gauge the impact of what the Government was proposing. Our exchange was positive, and we obtained changes that will help local micro and small businesses.”
“The Council executive meets monthly and its proposed to hold quarterly networking meetings to provide information, discuss matters of mutual interest and give support to businesses in these tough times.”
