The Ringwood Chamber of Commerce meets on the second of Tuesday of month to discuss topics and issues relevant to businesses within Ringwood. This evening’s meeting included a presentation by Bruce Atkinson, the Shadow Minister for Small & Medium Enterprises, Workcover and Recreation, and member for Koonung Province.

Bruce Atkinson outlined the red tape that currently exists for small businesses and discussed some of the areas that would be tackled by the Victorian Liberal Party if they win the State Election in November.

With traditional sectors of the Australian economy, such as manufacturing, under strain reducing unnecessary business costs is imperative for Victoria’s small and medium businesses.
