Welcome
Welcome to the official website for Bungendore & Surrounding Districts, and the new website for the Bungendore Chamber of Commerce & Industry. A pleasant 30 minute drive from Canberra, Bungendore is a wonderful place to visit. Traditionally a Historic Village with many well-preserved old buildings, this beautiful town is now evolving into a major Arts & Design precinct. With its award-winning galleries and artisans, this thriving Village Community, still manages to maintain a strong rural feel and warm country hospitality! So we invite you now to experience our Village and the many great attractions we have to offer.
The Chamber of Commerce is proud of its local businesses and our town. Here are some of our features stories, new businesses in town and upcoming events, which help provide a snapshop of Bungendore, its businesses, our town, our events, and our community...
Chamber of CommerceNOTICE Council has reversed its decision about the issue of an Alcohol Free Zone. The issue will go on public display for 60 days for public comment. The Chamber of Commerce will re-visit this issue at our next General Meeting. The Meeting will be held in the Lake George Hotel Restaurant. As the restaurant will be closed, we will arrange to have pizzas that we can order, price will be around $10 per head (optional). The advantage of having the Meeting at the Lake George is that this is one of the businesses that would be effected by an Alcohol Free Zone. As well, Manager, Paul Garcia, will be able to give us an insight to the Pub’s perspective on this issue, and he will read the letter he read to Council in this matter last week. Also, Lake George Hotel owner, Richard Harry will be in attendance, and he will outline his plans for refurbishment and expansion of the Hotel/Motel. As with all our General Meetings, this is an open meeting, and we will invite Councillors and the public to attend. We hope people will attend who also support the need for an Alcohol Free Zone so that we have a discussion that comes to grips with all the complex issues. If there is not much support for an Alcohol Free Zone from those in attendance, then we will go on to other topics. Thank you, David Mac Laren, Chamber President. Email your RSVP or apologies to chamber@bungendore.com.au by 9am 25/5/09. For a copy of the draft agenda please click on the following link: Agenda General Meeting 25th May 2009.doc. |
