25.01.2022 Dont forget to bring along cash on Friday morning for our raffle.

24.01.2022 What sort of future do we want the Coffs Coast to have? Act now. 3 July is the deadline for when we tell the NSW Government our vision for the future. Would you like the Coffs Coast to be a hub for music festivals unique performances... exhibitions film festivals writers retreats comedy acts dance ensembles; and a place to celebrate the unique culture of the Gumbaynggirr land on which we work, live and play? Perhaps you want your children to grow up and feel like there is a place for them to feel like themselves in Coffs outside of sporting pursuits. If you want your child to have the chance to be one of the professions displayed in our graphic, you need to act now. Because you cant be what you cant see, and right now there is a real threat in creating a Coffs Harbour devoid of arts, culture and creative industries. Arts and culture have been effectively ignored in the NSW Governments Draft Regional City Action Plan 2036 and weve got just one shot to create the Coffs Coast we want for the future. Art, creative and culture bring not only value to the lives of individuals in our community but also underpin economic success as a critical driver of tourism and a key element of the Coffs Harbour Regional City Action Plan. Youve just got to think back a few short months to the Elton John concert or the Screenwave International Film Festival to see what great value these events bring to our region. How can you help? You can make a personal submission or a submission on behalf of the organisation you act for. Your submission can be as detailed as you like. Expect to take from about 20 minutes to several hours to collate your view. https://www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/coffsharbourrcap If youre a bit tight on time then you can still help. Complete the short survey and share your comments about the culture and creative industries being a vital part of any vibrant regional hub like Coffs. Should take you no more than 10-15 minutes. https://www.research.net/r/coffsharbourrcap We encourage you to also share your submission with Gurmesh Singh MP and our Coffs Harbour Councillors.

24.01.2022 All set up and ready to go for tomorrows International Womens Day breakfast. Kerstin and I (Cath) met our keynote speaker Mariam today and we cant wait for you to hear her story tomorrow.

24.01.2022 Another great woman in business feature with the amazing Julie from Let Them Play Toys. Have a read online or grab your copy of the Coffs Coast Focus and some of your fave businesses and venues around the Coffs Coast. https://issuu.com/focus.mag/docs/coffs117/92

23.01.2022 A great morning at the International Womans Day breakfast with over 350 attendees. Congratulations to Lily Isobella on her Coffs Coast Woman of the Year award.

23.01.2022 In a world facing the toughest economic circumstances we've seen in 100 years, want to know what can add $12 trillion to the global economy by 2025? It's not foreign direct investments and tax cuts. Its advancing women's equality. In an experiment by researchers from Harvard, MIT and the Wharton School in which the same idea was pitched to investors and only the voice of the presenter was changed, more than two-thirds of investors preferred to invest in the male voice's pitch.... Unconscious (or sometimes conscious, let's be real) bias prevails. Yet research shows female-founded and co-founded startups tend to perform better than all-male ones. We know that many part-time or casual positions in female-dominated industries were severely impacted by COVID-19. So it is pleasing to see the NSW Government providing financial support for women to return to work. It's a baby step, but it's a step nonetheless. If you've been out of work for a month or more, you can apply for one off grants of up to $5000 to cover things like transport costs, childcare, education and training, specialist clothing and equipment and other expenses. Learn more here: https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/register-interest-return-wor# Or if you have any questions I'm sure our local member Gurmesh Singh - MP and his team would be happy to assist.

23.01.2022 New week of goal planning! For many business owners and self employed, we expect to have that MORE. More control over our daily schedules.... More time to make an impact. More freedom for ourselves. But without a comprehensive structure and understanding of your role as a business owner, though, these are impossible to achieve. Owning a business starts with owning yourself. How do you plan your weeks to stay on task? Leave us a comment and let us know your tips Stay connected: Are you following us on Instagram? @coffscoastBWN

23.01.2022 From 1 July, COVID impacted small businesses can apply for a cash injection of up to $3,000 and benefit from payroll tax changes. For support and details click here: https://www.smallbusiness.nsw.gov.au//new-support-availabl

07.01.2022 Business owners are known to have busy schedules, many different responsibilities and a steady flow of important decisions to make. Despite wanting to do it all, all the time, the simple truth is that there are so many hours in a day and so many tasks you can do at once. To remain successful long term, us women must balance between business and personal life. ... Some tips we like to implement: 1 ~ Set Boundaries 2 ~ Create Rules for Yourself 3 ~ Be consistent 4 ~ Allow yourself time take breaks. Having a plan that helps balance will assist in reducing stress, and ultimately make you a happier and more productive business owner. #bwn #coffsharbour #coffsbusiness

07.01.2022 The health of our community is important for us. This means we will not be having an April BWN event. We will reassess the approach moving forward to determine if/when future events will be held in the year, or if we are able to introduce some virtual options.

06.01.2022 For those businesses impacted by Covid-19, weve found this is the best place to get consolidated information. You might also like to visit: https://treasury.gov.au/coronavirus And follow Gurmesh Singh - MP for local updates. ... Stay home. Stay safe. And be good to one another

02.01.2022 A special message from our friends and BWN sponsors Coffs Coast Health Club Toormina Today the fitness community around the world unites to spread a very important message #exerciseismedicine and #gymsaresafe unfortunately the longer gyms, health clubs and fitness studios in NSW remain closed the worse it is for everyones mental health and physical resilience.
