We believe it’s important for Lake Macquarie’s businesses and community to prosper.In November 2013, several local Business Chambers decided that a unified approach through amalgamation would enable them to better support the entire Lake Macquarie business community helping the city to thrive and prosper.In October 2015, LMB was incorporated as a not-for-profit, Company Limited by Guarantee. A diverse group of passionate, energetic business owners and community leaders have come forward from around the Lake to lead this new approach to business connectivity as Directors of the Board.As the city of Lake Macquarie’s peak business network, the chamber of commerce works in partnership with its members, national, state and other local chambers as well as the public and private sectors to represent and support the interests of its members.A strong, vibrant and connected business community is important to the future of Lake Macquarie. Supporting and developing small businesses, the engine rooms of our local communities, benefits the entire region.
