As I sit down to write this column, I have just received word that the Queensland Police will imminently begin consultation on the roll-out of a new state-wide Vehicle Immobiliser subsidy trial in North Queensland. We have previously advocated for the introduction of an incentivisation scheme to support the uptake of immobiliser devices and will be participating in discussions with the Queensland Police in the coming weeks on the issue.

In other news, nominations have now been called for Committee Members and Representatives across many of our divisions.

Joining your committee is a great way of becoming entrenched in the decision-making of the direction of your division sector while also introducing yourself to other like-minded business owners and professionals and promoting your brand to the rest of industry!

Nominations are now open for the:

  • Automotive Remarketing Division
  • Engine Reconditioners Association of Queensland
  • Service Station and Convenience Store Association
  • Rental Vehicle Industry Division
  • Auto Parts Recyclers Division
  • Far North Queensland District
  • Central Queensland District

Nominations must be submitted in writing and will close at 12:00pm on Thursday, 1st June 2023. I look forward to seeing more of our members in our committee groups.

Speaking of networking within your division, our next round of divisional committee meetings are here! Our first round of meetings earlier this year started off strong with some incredibly insightful discussions held, and I implore all businesses, both members and non-members, to come along, participate, and get to know the other businesses in your sector.
