The position is only to be filled by someone with knowledge about Wide Bay’s economic, social, cultural and environmental opportunities and challenges. Regional Development Australia Wide Bay Burnett (RDAWBB) is on the search for the perfect-fit local to represent the region’s interests for the next two years as a Deputy Chair.
Being part of RDA, the Deputy Chair will join a national network of local leaders, working with all levels of government, business and community groups to support economic development in their specific region.
Also requiring a large network and ability to advocate strongly for the community they call home, not just anyone is made for this position.
“This results in leased buildings with trading businesses and less empty shops.”
The pair believe the building “represents an opportunity to create a space that Maryborough doesn’t have”.
Their design for the space also provides easy offices for others that need either a full-time premise or “just somewhere to work from time to time”.
“We also feel that offering a place to rent an office on a short-term basis will help start-ups and work from home businesses that can’t afford to commit to a long-term lease arrangement,” Ms Frahm said.
The old Furniture and Carpet Court building at 129 Adelaide St, Maryborough was also purchased on December 17.
