Fresh Start: Cowra Business Chamber Relaunches

The Cowra Business Chamber has officially relaunched, electing Zac Jones as President for the coming year and setting a fresh direction focused on rebuilding and growth. Zac, a local electrician and the founder of Zac Power, moved to Cowra in 2018 and now leads a team of 10. With previous Chamber experience, he returns with renewed energy and a clear vision for the future. Over the past few months, the focus has been behind the scenes—restoring operational functionality and regaining access to the Chamber’s social media platforms.

Now, with these basics back online, the committee is ready to re-engage with the local business community. “Our goal right now is to keep things simple,” Zac said. “We’re focused on creating a solid foundation before we expand. That starts with being present, offering useful events, and listening to what our members need.” He added, “We know some trust was lost in the past. We want to earn that back. If you’re a local business owner, the best way to help is to get involved—rejoin the Chamber and come along to an event.” The Chamber website is also set to be relaunched in the coming month, providing a central hub for event announcements, updates, and membership information.

As part of its affiliation with Business NSW, Chamber members gain access to a wealth of valuable resources and statewide advocacy.
