Mornington Chamber Of Commerce

Could your business benefit from building stronger relationships within the local business community?

The Mornington Chamber of Commerce is a volunteer group of representatives from local businesses who promote the town as a destination, run our community events, advocate on behalf of local traders, and provide assistance to them where applicable.

It is a committee of people who are your fellow Mornington community business owners. The Chamber’s committee of volunteers give their time, skills and experience to make a contribution to the success of Mornington. In addition, we have a full-time coordinator.

The Chamber’s aims are to:

market and promote Mornington as a shopping destination and attract visitors to the area
initiate local events and activities that contribute to the wellbeing of the community
represent and advocate on behalf of local businesses and traders in discussions with local government and stakeholders
support the efforts of precinct traders
promote a unique sense of community in Mornington

What is the Special Charge Scheme (SCS) Promotional Fund and how does it work?

It is a rate or charge of money that is collected by the MPS on behalf of MCOC from property
and/or business owners within a specified geographical area. The fund is all about the benefit to the town, rather than being about the benefit to the individual.

The SCS Promotional Fund has been in place since 2010 and is now renewed every 7 years (next renewal is scheduled for 2027 which is anticipated to take MCOC 6-12 months to complete). Whilst there is opportunity for
individually targeted business promotions, the SCS Promotional Fund is designed for collective
advertising for the town as a whole.

Christmas decorations on Main Street

Each year, it seems our community is often confused around who is responsible for creating and installing Christmas decorations on Main Street and, more importantly, who foots the bill.

Each year, Mornington Chamber of Commerce attempts to answer community questions and set the facts straight but is often met with a lot of negative and critical responses.

This year the Chamber decided to put together a questions and answers document around the history of Christmas decorations on Main Street that (hopefully) covers a range of questions including who is ‘responsible’ for them and what has been tried in the past, in the hope of providing some clarity and avoid any future misunderstanding or disappointment.

We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
