Moving forward to May 

It is a time for renewal and celebration as we welcome the vibrant month of May, a period filled with new beginnings and community celebrations. Let's take a moment to reflect on recent developments and look ahead to exciting events shaping our community.

 

Reflections on Mardi Grass: A Continuing Legacy 

This year, MardiGrass poses the question: is a celebration of the cannabis harvest still relevant? 


With recent shifts in the supply chain and distribution, the local economies of Nimbin and Lismore may feel the impact if green dollars are diverted.


For advocates for cannabis, staying informed about legislative changes is crucial for navigating the evolving landscape.


Chamber of Commerce updates 

With new leadership at the helm, the chamber is experiencing a refreshing shift in focus. 

We are refining our objectives to serve better and support the Nimbin business community.

 

Cultural preservation

Nimbin and village murals are not just art but a collective memory. We have initiated a project to restore and refresh these murals. You can support this effort by contributing to the collection of tins located in retail outlets.

 

Empowering local business's upcoming workshops 

In collaboration with the council, we are launching workshops designed to enhance the business acumen of local entrepreneurs. So that you know, details on how to participate will be announced soon. 


Engaging youth Nimbin central school collaboration 

We are thrilled to announce a partnership with Nimbin Central to promote career opportunities for young residents. Mark your calendars for the 27th of May to participate in or attend the school's careers day event.


Women in  business inspire and empower   

Join us on May 10 for an empowering session with Jane Leverty, a renowned business strategist. Celebrate and learn from the achievements of female entrepreneurs in the community.

 

Community and infrastructure dialogue with Lismore council 

Our recent discussions with the Lismore council have brought to light potential developments that may affect local traffic flow. We are advocating for necessary infrastructure improvements to accommodate our growing needs.
